Zeta Oviucci once orbited close to another star, before its companion was destroyed in a supernova explosion. Infrared data from Spitzer revealed shockwaves made of material that exploded from the star’s surface and collided with gas on its way. Chandra’s data show X-ray emission bubbles located around the star, generated by gas heated to tens of millions of degrees by the shock wave. Chandra’s data helps tell more about the story of this wild star. credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/Univ. Cambridge / c. Cesc Raines et al; Radio: NSF/NRAO/VLA; Optics: PanSTARRS Zeta Ophiuchi is the only star that may ever have a companion destroyed during a supernova. The supernova explosion sent zeta Ophiuchi into space as seen in the Spitzer data (in green and red) and Chandra (in blue). The X-rays that Chandra discovered came from heating the gas to millions of degrees by the shockwave effect. Scientists are working to match the computational model of this object to interpret the data ...

Behind the ancient facade of this verdant Victorian cottage lies a VERY modern house with a luxurious design and an epic garden hideaway you’ve never seen The stately modern home has been shortlisted for a major design award and it’s not hard to see why Normandy House is located on the Melbourne seaside Brighton, half an hour south of the city centre Its ancient heritage facade hides contemporary chic extensions and renovations of epic proportions The original Victorian home was faithfully restored to preserve details such as the ornate ceilings, cornices and arches While the stunning extension features a large living room with two-story windows and a luxurious kitchen Outside there is a lush Asian-inspired Zen garden, a raised swimming pool and sunken lounges under the rooftop garden By Louise Allingham For The Australian Daily Published: 12:07 p.m. EDT, 27 July 2022 | Updated: 12:43 PM EDT, 27 July 2022 Advertisement ...

Penguins are no strangers to climate change. Their life history has been shaped by fluctuations in temperature, and their bodies are highly specialized for some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. However, scientists fear the penguin’s evolutionary path may have stalled, thanks to the lowest evolutionary rate ever detected in birds. An international team of researchers has just published one of the most comprehensive studies on penguin evolution to date, which is the first to integrate data from living and fossil penguin species. The research reveals a general chaotic penguin life history, with three-quarters of all known penguin species – now represented only by fossils – already extinct. “Over 60 million years, this iconic bird has evolved into a highly specialized marine predator, and is now well-adapted in some of the most extreme environments on Earth,” the authors wrote. “However, as their evolutionary history reveals, they now stand as guardians high...

Deep in the Milky Way, roughly 22,000 light-years from Earth, a star unlike any other roars with a magnetic force that beats anything physicists have ever seen. With 1.6 billion Tesla, a pulsar called Swift J0243.6+6124 broke the previous record of around 1 billion Tesla, found in the vicinity of pulsars GRO J1008-57 and 1A 0535+262. For a little context, your average new fridge magnet comes in at around 0.001 Tesla. More powerful MRI machines manage to reach around 3 Tesla. A few years ago, engineers were credited with hitting the semi-respectable 1,200 Tesla, keeping it in a flash of just 100 microseconds. So it makes sense that 1.6 billion Tesla would demand some truly amazing physics. The kind that can only be achieved by massive objects crammed into impossible volumes and spinning at incredible speeds, fast enough to accelerate electrons to ridiculous speeds. Swift J0243.6+6124 is already considered a noteworthy star. A type of super-compact cosmic heavyweight known as a pulsar...
