*Discovery of a black hole spinning on its side
Astronomers have discovered a black hole in a binary star system which appears to be spinning on its side. The discovery reported in the journal Science challenges current theoretical models of black hole formation.
*The James Webb space telescope reaches another milestone
NASA scientists are continuing the laborious task of fine tuning the James Webb Space Telescope – which is now in its final orbital position some 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. Technicians have successfully completed Segment Alignment and Image Stacking – the second and third of seven phases involved in aligning the observatory’s primary mirror.
*New science experiments reach the International Space Station
A Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo ship carrying 3.8 tonnes of supplies has successfully docked with the International Space Station. Cygnus was attached to the Unity module’s Earth-facing port one and a half days after launching aboard a Northrop Grumman Antares rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in the Virginian mid Atlantic Coast.
*The Science Report
The effectiveness of COVID-19 boosters begins to wane after just ten weeks.
Study shows prunes may be good for bone health.
New Research debunks previous assumptions that mental speed peaks at age 20.
Discovery of a giant sea scorpion that swam in Australia waters 252 million years ago.
