    #scientists especially epidemiologists, especially² #COVID19 #researchers
    #lawyers
    #DIY & #FLOSS

  19. A strange ‘chirp’ in a brilliant stellar blast points to a #magnetar
    About a billion light-years away, an extraordinary stellar explosion lit up in the night sky. The blast, detected December 12, 2024, was some 30 times the brightness of a typical #supernova, putting it in a rare group of superluminous #supernovas. Now, #astronomers believe they know what made the explosion so bright — an extreme type of star called a magnetar.

  22. This ‘Galaxy That Wasn’t’ Never Bore Any Stars
    #Astronomers announced the almost-galaxy is about 14M light-years from Earth. It was ninth cloud found to be associated with a nearby spiral galaxy, leading to its serendipitous name: #Cloud9. The object is starless, consisting of only a haze of hydrogen gas that #astronomers believe is swaddled in a much more massive clump of #darkmatter, the invisible substance that permeates the cosmos.
