Fires Threaten the World's Oldest Cave Paintings

Indonesia's worst fire season since 2015 is now reaching Sulawesi's ancient rock art, while haze turns Kalimantan skies orange.

Indonesia is battling its most intense forest and land fires since 2015, as a severe El Niño drives up temperatures and reduces rainfall. Now the flames are threatening something irreplaceable: the world's oldest cave paintings, in Sulawesi, which are reported to be under threat from wildfires.

The smoke is already being felt elsewhere. In Central Kalimantan, students in surgical masks gathered under an eerily orange sky, with visibility severely reduced, and waved banners aimed at the authorities. Taken together, the two stories show how far a hot, dry season can reach: from the air people breathe to heritage that has survived for a very long time.

Helen Mirren in Pink, Plus a Golden Archival Gucci

A week of film festivals brought Mirren in Martin Grant, Mckenna Grace in vintage Gucci, and Carrie Coon in magenta.

Dame Helen Mirren wore a vibrant monochrome pink Martin Grant gown with Bottega Veneta mules to the 29th SCAD Savannah Film Festival, a look put together by her stylist Lee Harris. Mckenna Grace, on her ongoing "Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" press tour, chose a geometric-patterned archival Gucci dress, pairing it with simple heels that matched the gold flecks in the fabric.

Colour did the work elsewhere, too. Carrie Coon accepted an Artistic Achievement Award at Chicago's Music Box Theater on Saturday night in a gray ensemble, lifted by bright magenta pumps that looked like Jude Kiss. None of it is complicated: one confident colour, one well-chosen shoe, and an archive piece worn without fuss.

Scientists Hold Antimatter in Place for Months

A new trapping method keeps an elusive antimatter particle contained far longer than has been easy, opening the door to closer study.

Antimatter particles are elusive and highly reactive, which makes them hard to hold on to and even harder to study. WIRED reports that scientists have now managed to trap an antimatter particle for months, a long stretch for something so awkward to keep in one place.

The achievement rests on a new method, which WIRED says paves the way for tests on the particle's properties. That is the real prize here. Study depends on keeping a sample intact long enough to examine it, and until now the particles' reactivity has stood in the way of that. Months of containment suggests researchers may finally have time to look closely.
