Wow! Signal
The Wow! signal was a powerful, 72-second narrowband radio burst detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope in the United States. It is widely considered one of the most compelling and famous anomalies in the history of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). The signal appeared to come from the direction of the Constellation Sagittarius and bore expected hallmarks of extraterrestrial origin - but to date no one is certain.

Climate change and global flooding are part of our equation today. With global warming, melting of the polar icecaps and Antarctica, sea level rise, etc. there is no going back. It takes this story full circle.
The flooding of the Nile has been an important natural cycle in Egypt since ancient times. It is celebrated by Egyptians as an annual holiday for two weeks starting August 15, known as Wafaa El-Nil. Mythology: The flooding of the Nile was described as Isis' tears of sorrow for her husband Osiris when he was killed by his brother Set.
Most of this rainwater is taken by the Blue Nile and by the Atbarah River into the Nile, while a less important amount flows through the Sobat and the White Nile into the Nile.
