The archipelago has one of the world’s largest untouched wilderness areas and animals such as polar bears and reindeer roam around freely.While every region has its own way of doing things, Svalbard is no exception and they have laws that may baffle those not accustomed to the way of life there, ranging from alcohol limits to even 'a ban on dying'.Let's start with the strict animal rules - cats are banned in Svalbard to protect the rich bird life so while you’re on the archipelago don’t be surprised at the lack of felines.While there are bars, restaurants, schools and a university, there isn’t a maternity ward in Svalbard meaning pregnant women have to go to the mainland in Norway around a month before giving birth.

NASA spacecraft has launched a mission to protect planet Earth by obliterating an asteroid.The giant rock named Dimorphos was the target for the US space agency as they aim to show how incoming rocks are able to destroyed.Dimorphos was 560ft wide and while it posed no threat to the safety or security of our planet, the launch was greenlit as other rocks could prove to be dangerous in the future, the Daily Mirror reports.READ MORE:NASA plans to slam spacecraft into an asteroid - how and where to watchAiming to save humans from the fate dinosaurs faced, NASA hopes that rockets will be able to shatter asteroids before they reach Earth.The spacecraft, which was called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (Dart), crashed into Dimorphos on Monday (September 26).NASA said: “Dart’s target asteroid is not a threat to Earth but is the perfect testing ground to see if this method of asteroid deflection – known as the kinetic impactor technique – would be a viable way to protect our planet if an asteroid on a collision course with Earth were discovered in the future.”While final results form the launch have yet to be discovered, space telescopes are set to release the data collected on Dimorphos and its twin asteroid Didymos.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.Katherine Calvin, NASA's senior climate adviser spoke on the advantages humans have as she said while "dinosaurs didn’t have a space programme to help them know what was coming".A livestream online allowed the public to watch updated images from Dart's 'Draco' camera as it approached its head-on collision with the asteroid that saw thousands of viewers tuning in.After launching last November on SpaceX’s Falcon 9

"With good binoculars, the banding (at least the central band) and three or four of the Galilean satellites (moons) should be visible," Dr Kobelski said.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story includes plot points in Episode 4 of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, as well as one major story development written by author J.R.R. Tolkien in the appendices of “The Lord of the Rings.” Like so many of her castmates of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” Cynthia Addai-Robinson didn’t know exactly who she was playing until she arrived in New Zealand to shoot the Amazon Prime Video series. Unlike several of her castmates, however, Addai-Robinson was not an obsessive fan of the expansive world of Middle-earth created by author J.R.R. Tolkien. But once she was cast as Míriel, the Queen Regent of the resplendently prosperous island nation of Númenor, the veteran actor (“Power,” “Shooter,” “Arrow,” “Spartacus”) dove in head first into the rich history of Númenor and Middle-earth.

Zack Sharf “The Lord of the Rings” cast members Elijah Wood, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan banded together on social media to support the diverse casting in Amazon’s new series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” The series, which launched its first two episodes on Sept. 2 to critical acclaim and 25 million global viewers, has been come under fire by racist fans upset by the casting of actors of color in prominent roles. Wood, Boyd and Monaghan posed for a photo wearing t-shirts that features the ears of Middle Earth creatures in various skin tones. “You are all welcome,” Wood’s caption reads. The message is clear: Elijah Wood, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan stand by Middle-Earth welcoming diversity just as “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” depicts. Wood included a link to an online store where fans can purchase their own t-shirts with the design on it. The store is also selling a sweatshirt and more clothing items with the same graphic. The shirt as seen in the photo is selling for $22.00. Per the online shop: “50% of all proceeds will go to a charity that support POC.”

After two big-screen trilogies adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit books, fans get to explore Middle-earth once more with Amazon Studios' The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.The sprawling eight-episode first season is set within the Second Age of Middle-earth's history, thousands of years before the events shown in both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books.The show will begin during a time of peace, but will depict events that play a huge role in the LOTR and Hobbit franchise, including the forging of the Rings of Power.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Over 20 visual effects studios and 1500 visual effects artists across the globe came together to deliver Amazon’s mega-series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” Companies such as Industrial Light & Magic, Weta FX and DNEG provided close to 9500 shots. VFX producer Ron Ames says the eight-hour series is designed to play like a theatrical experience, however audiences experience it. He says, “Our target was the 65-inch screen at home, but we made it so that it would play technically beautifully in everything up to an IMAX screen. It is finished to a theatrical resolution.” “Rings of Power,” streaming on Prime Video, is set thousands of years before the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, in the Second Age of Middle-earth. The show follows a host of characters including young Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Lord Durin (Owain Arthur) and Elrond (Robert Aramayo), and centers around the rise and fall of Númenor, the creation of the Rings of Power and the formation of the Last Alliance.
