People around the world watched the royal wedding on TV.
A tourist was visiting Times Square in New York when she witnessed a “random act of kindness” she—and thousands of other people—will never forget.
A homeless man was begging for change. He had no shoes or socks on, in the frigid November evening.
As the tourist, Jennifer Foster, watched, a New York police officer approached the man.
The policeman said, “I have these size 12 boots for you; they are all-weather. Let’s put them on and take care of you.”
Researchers were investigating a mural painted by Italian artist Vasari in Florence, Italy last year.
They had a hunch that on a wall behind Vasari’s mural, another mural might be lurking — one painted by the famous Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci.
The researchers were right.
They put a probe with a camera on it through the first mural.
Underneath, they found the Leonardo painting, The Battle of Anghiari.
The research team was led by scientist Maurizio Seracini and included specialists from the National Geographic Society, several universities and the City of Florence.
