A man exploded a small homemade bomb outside the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, injuring only himself on the hand. The man was identified only by his surname, Jiang, and is a 26-year-old Tongliao city native. The motive for his attack was not clear and the investigation is still ongoing. He was the only person involved in making the explosive device, which was crafted from fireworks and went off at about 1 p.m. Thursday.

Syrian mourners attended a mass funeral for at least 216 people killed in an attack coordinated by the Islamic State, the worst attack on the area since the country's conflict began. Militants also kidnapped at least 18 people, at least 14 of which activists believe were women who are being used as hostages and sex slaves. The violence targeted the city of Sweida and surrounding villages, which are usually peaceful cities near the countryside. The mass funeral was held in Sweida where mourners dressed in black and gathered to pay their respects.
Einstein's theory of relativity passes yet another test
This artist's impression provided by the European Southern Observatory in July 2018 shows the path of the star S2 as it passes close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. As the star gets nearer to the black hole, a very strong gravitational field causes the color of the star to shift slightly to the red, an effect of Einstein's general theory of relativity. European researchers reported the results of their observations in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics on Thursday, July 26, 2018. (M. Kornmesser/ESO via AP)
Albert Einstein's theory of relativity has passed yet another test after more than a century since it was proposed. European researchers observed a fast-moving star traveling near a monstrous black hole. The black hole distorted the star's light waves in a way that agrees with Einstein's theory. The theory says the fabric of the universe is not simply space, but a more complex entity called space-time, which is warped by the presence of heavy objects. Black holes are a good way to test that idea, and so far, no one has been able to overthrow Einstein's theory.
