Phillies open season with offensive drought as Rangers take series

Philadelphia’s offense slumped in the 3-game Opening Series vs. Texas, batting .186 with 18 hits and no homer, marking the worst start since 2015. Despite solid pitching from Nola and Luzardo, the Rangers hit two homers over the weekend while Phillies stars like Turner and Harper struggled to get going, and a few defensive miscues handy to the skid. Manager Rob Thomson urged patience and said the team will settle in, hoping this weekend proves a blip rather than a trend.

Monet's Dreamlike Haze Linked to Air Pollution, Scientists Confirm

A recent study by climate scientists has found new evidence to confirm a long-held theory by some art historians about what was behind the distinctive dreamy haze in Monet's work. The study looked at over 100 paintings by Monet and British painter Joseph Mallord William Turner, with the goal of finding an empirical basis to the hypothesis that the paintings capture increasingly polluted skies during the Industrial Revolution. The paintings chronicle the historical changes in the atmospheric environment, according to the researchers, and particularly the rise in emissions of sulfur dioxide, a coal-derived pollutant that causes acid rain and respiratory issues.
