Archie Moore wins prestigious Golden Lion award at the Venice Biennale, in world-first for Australian artist

Quick Glance: Historic Victory for Archie Moore at the Venice Biennale

Australia secures gold at the Venice Biennale, known as the 'Olympics of the art world' and the oldest international art biennial.

Archie Moore, a First Nations artist, is honored with the prestigious Golden Lion for the best national pavilion - a first for an Australian.

Transforming the traditional white cube of the Australia pavilion, Moore created a massive family tree using blackboard paint and chalk over the past two months.

Following the Biennale closure, the installation will be reproduced at QAGOMA in Brisbane in November.

3 men stranded on a Pacific island were rescued by spelling 'help' with palm leaves

Quick Glance: Rescue of Stranded Mariners Using Palm Leaves

Three sailors were rescued from a remote Pacific Island after being stranded for over a week and using palm leaves to write 'HELP' on the white sand beach, as announced by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The men found themselves stranded on Pikelot Atoll after their boat was damaged during a fishing trip on March 31.

Initiation of the search and rescue operation occurred on April 6 when a family member of the sailors contacted the Joint Rescue Sub-Center (JRSC) Guam due to their absence.

Survival supplies were effectively provided to the stranded sailors until the USCGC Oliver Henry redirected to Pikelot Atoll on April 9 to finalize the rescue operation, according to officials.

Quick Glance: Coffee Origins Revealed: Genome Study Uncovers Ethiopian Roots

Researchers unlocked the genome of Arabica coffee species, tracing its origins to a natural mating over 600,000 years ago in Ethiopia.

The study revealed Arabica's low genetic diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases, limiting its cultivation locations.

The findings could lead to new breeding approaches in coffee to develop varieties with enhanced resistance to diseases and climate changes.

Arabica formed as a natural hybridization between parent species Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, mainly used for global coffee production.

How the solar eclipse will impact plants and animals: Animals going into nighttime mode could become disoriented when the sun returns.

Quick Glance: New York inmates' legal action over solar phenomenon

Prisoners in a New York correctional facility have taken legal action as the state's Department of Corrections announced restrictions that would hinder their observation of the upcoming total solar eclipse next week.

The six individuals incarcerated at Woodbourne Correctional Facility are asserting that preventing them from witnessing this rare astronomical occurrence would infringe upon their religious rights as outlined in the constitution.

The impending solar eclipse is scheduled for Monday afternoon and was last visible in the United States back in 2017. It will not be observable in the country again until 2044.

A representative from the Department of Corrections informed ABC News that they refrain from commenting on ongoing legal matters but emphasized that the lockdown's purpose is to prioritize the "safety" of both the inmates and prison staff.
