 South Korean police seek arrest warrant for Hybe chairman Bang Si-Hyuk over alleged $100 million investor fraud scheme    South Korean police are seeking an arrest warrant for Bang Si-Hyuk, the billionaire music executive behind K-pop powerhouse Hybe and BTS, as part of an expanding investigation into allegations that he improperly benefited from an investor scheme involving more than $100 million.

 From Mars to Niger: Largest Known Martian Meteorite Up for Auction


Discovered in the Sahara Desert near Agadez, Niger, the Martian meteorite known as NWA 16788 is heading for auction at Sotheby’s on Wednesday, Sputnik reported.


Weighing 24.67 kg, this extraordinary specimen is the largest known piece of Mars on Earth, comprising 6.5% of all Martian material ever found.


Launched into space by an asteroid impact and traveling 140 million miles before landing in Niger, the meteorite was uncovered by a hunter in November 2023. Its value is estimated between $2–4 million, thanks to its exceptional size, well-preserved “reddish-brown fusion crust”, and minimal Earth weathering.


Of over 77,000 meteorites discovered on Earth, only 400 are from Mars. NWA 16788 stands out with a 70% size advantage over the previous record holder. As Sotheby’s notes, it is “an incredibly rare” and likely a “rather recent” arrival on Earth.
