One of the most extreme stars in the Milky Way has just gotten even weirder. Scientists have measured the mass of a neutron star named PSR J0952-0607, and found that it is the most massive neutron star ever discovered, registering 2.35 times the mass of the Sun. If true, this is very close to the theorized upper mass limit of about 2.3 solar masses for neutron stars, which is an excellent laboratory for studying these ultra-dense stars at what we think are on the verge of collapse, in hopes of better understanding. strange quantum states of the matter they are made of. “We know roughly how matter behaves at nuclear densities, such as in the nuclei of uranium atoms,” said astrophysicist Alex Filippenko of the University of California, Berkeley. “A neutron star is like one giant core, but when you have one and a half solar masses of this material, which is about 500,000 Earth masses of cores all stuck together, it’s not at all clear how they’re going to behave.” Neutron stars are the col

The real legacy of the Sydney Olympics can be found overlooking the beautiful Queensland coast — and some say it should provide inspiration for the organizers of Brisbane 2032. The twelve 57 sqm two-bedroom, one-bath spa villas from Sydney 2000 have become a getaway for visitors to the Philippa Thompson caravan park at Rainbow Beach, north of the Sunshine Coast. Ms Thompson says after hosting thousands of holiday makers for 21 years, they remain in good working condition and only need occasional updates and additions, and are working on wear and tear. Pre-fabricated buildings were shipped to locations across the country and the athlete’s village of Newington in Sydney was converted into apartments. The whole area turned into a new residential community. Minor additions have been made to the villa over the last two decades. ( provided ) Ten years before hosting the Olympics and Paralympics, architects say the village that will host most of the more than 23,000 athletes and officials a

Thousands of Australians have been duped for shrewd tax-related behavior with those in the building and construction sector topping the list. Aussies across the country made a total of 43,000 tip-offs to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) in the 2021-22 financial year, with businesses, customers, employees and members of the public picking up the phone to report suspected violators. Hairstyling and beauty services came second on the list, followed by cafes and restaurants, road transport, and related management advice and consulting services. More than 13,400 calls were made to ATOs in the state, followed by Victoria, 11,500, and Queensland, 9,200. While Sydneysiders are the main culprits, Australians in regional locations are also exposing their alleged local criminals. Sunshine Coast Hinterland and Cairns in Queensland, Wellington in Sydney and Wodonga and Mornington Peninsula in Victoria were among the top five regional locations for tip offs – nearly 7,000 calls came from people outsi

Australia’s biggest home lender fears borrowers in August could cope with their biggest monthly rate hike in nearly three decades if there is an inflation shock next week. Commonwealth Bank, along with four other major lenders, all expect the Reserve Bank of Australia next month to raise interest rates by 50 basis points, or 0.5 percentage points, to a six-year high of 1.85 percent. But CBA’s chief economist for Australia Gareth Aird said there was an outside chance of a 75 basis point hike on Aug. 2, bringing interest rates to a seven-year high of 2.1 percent from a three-year high of 1.35 percent. It would also be the steepest monthly increase since December 1994, meaning borrowers with an average mortgage of $600,000 would overcome another $256 increase in their monthly mortgage payments on top of the $352 increase they had experienced since May.
