The new image captures never-before-seen details within the colorful nebula, located in the Lyra constellation about 2,600 light-years from Earth. The structure of the Ring Nebula can be glimpsed through amateur telescopes and has been observed and studied for years. “I first saw the Ring Nebula as a kid through just a small telescope. “The James Webb Space Telescope has provided us with an extraordinary view of the Ring Nebula that we’ve never seen before.

☆ Consultancies are coming off a pandemic boom. Are they still worth hiring?
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Anna Cooban | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
Management consultancies helped design vaccination programs during the pandemic and are currently providing advice on how to rescue one of the world’s biggest banks. The $230 billion management consulting industry is a broad church: it includes companies offering everything from project management expertise to designing new organizational structures. Many big firms — think EY and KPMG — also conduct audits and advise on their clients’ tax issues, though these services are generally seen as distinct from their consulting work. In The Big Con, published in February, prize-winning economist Mariana Mazzucato and her co-author Rosie Collington argue that management consultancies “infantilize” governments by keeping them dependent on their services. Nearly 80% of firms surveyed globally have told the think-tank that consultants’ work is either of high or very high quality, she noted.

It’s a real thrill to sort of bring somebody back from obscurity.”
