Oct 31 (Reuters) - The aftermath of a large star's explosive death is seen in an image released on Monday by the European Southern Observatory, showing immense filaments of brightly shining gas that was blasted into space during the supernova. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km). The image shows the supernova remnants about 11,000 years after the explosion, Leibundgut said. The beauty of such images is that we can directly see what material was inside a star," Leibundgut added. The star itself has been reduced in the aftermath of the supernova to an incredibly dense spinning object called a pulsar.

CNN —Kevin Bacon is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as…Kevin Bacon. In a move that’s sure to make the ‘six degrees of Kevin Bacon’ game even easier, the “Footloose” star is featured in the new trailer for “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special,” alongside franchise stars Dave Bautista (Drax) and Pom Klementieff (Mantis). “Guardians” director James Gunn, who on Tuesday was appointed co-chairman and chief executive officer of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran, shared the clip on his Twitter. Somehow, they decide that Bacon would be the perfect “someone special” to help their friend and appear on the iconic actor’s front doorstep to take him with them. “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” is due on Disney+ on November 25.

David Grinspoon, an astrobiologist at the Planetary Science Institute, called the new Webb image “just spectacular beyond words.”“Oh. Young stars, estimated to be only a few hundred thousand years old, are the bright red orbs in the image. New stars form within clouds of dust and gas as dense clumps of mass collapse under their own gravity and begin to heat up. The Webb Telescope captured this dynamic journey in progress, according to Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate. These are baby stars that are forming within the gas & dust," he tweeted.

In its first 100 days of observation, Webb has captured mind-blowing images, reaching astonishing cosmic distances.

The "check your kids’ Halloween candy" meme, which first went viral in meme form in October 2014, parodies "a Halloween urban legend about people hiding needles and razors in candy before giving them out to trick-or-treaters," according to meme database Know Your Meme. We just found the Carina Nebula in a candy bar. No words," the LinkedIn official Twitter account wrote in an Oct. 11 tweet, featuring an image of a beach inside a candy bar. Arcade and restaurant Dave & Busters tweeted: "Be diligent and check your child’s candy this year, just found a finger trap shoved inside a candy bar. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation joked it had found a slimier surprise in a candy bar.

☆ Gen Z is increasingly using TikTok videos instead of Google search, but 1 in 5 of them contain misinformation, a new study says

A new study by a site that tracks online misinformation found that 1 in 5 videos on TikTok contain misinformation. The study found that TikTok often yields more partisan search results than Google. Gen Z users are increasingly turning to TikTok instead of Google as their primary search engine. Gen Z users have begun replacing Google with TikTok as their primary search engine, The New York Times recently reported. A new study by NewsGuard, a site that monitors misinformation across the internet, found that one in five search results on TikTok contains misinformation.

☆ Side-by-side photos of the Orion Nebula show how powerful Webb's infrared cameras are. They spot star-forming clouds and gas cocoons Hubble can't see.

Astronomers released a new image of the Orion Nebula on Monday from the James Webb Space Telescope. "We are blown away by the breathtaking images of the Orion Nebula. The Orion Nebula is a massive star-forming region 1,350 light-years from Earth, making it the nearest stellar nursery to us. Webb spots previously hidden star-forming threadsHubble's image, left, and Webb's image, right of the Orion Nebula. The Orion Nebula is similar to the environment our solar system was born in, Habart added, so studying it could be key to understanding our solar system.

☆ Side-by-side photographic glass plates and James Webb images show how telescope technology has evolved since the 1800s

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, astronomers catalogued the universe on glass photographic plates. Compared to faint objects stamped on plates, the James Webb Space Telescope's images show dramatic improvements in telescope technology. The exposures were made on glass plates coated with photosensitive emulsions, with astronomers later developing the plates like film in a darkroom. Compared with Webb's infrared images, photographic plates of the same parts of the night sky show how developments in technology led to clearer and deeper views of the cosmos. Webb's clear views of interacting galaxies offer sharper detail than faint glass plate imagesA glass plate image of Stephan's Quintet taken in 1974, left.

Astronomers took a new image of the Tarantula Nebula with the James Webb Space Telescope. Webb's instruments captured thousands of never-before-seen young stars, shrouded in cosmic dust. The space around the young stars is where gas has been cleared out by the stars' intense radiation and stellar winds. A side-by-side display of the same region of the Tarantula Nebula shows the difference between Webb's Near-Infrared Camera, left, and Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument, right. Astronomers believe the Tarantula Nebula belongs to our universe's distant past.

Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has made revolutionary achievements in astronomy. The new James Webb Space Telescope is popular, but Hubble has skills, like capturing visible and ultraviolet light, that Webb doesn't. "The Webb Space Telescope is good news for astronomy, and good news for the Hubble Space Telescope as well, since Webb and Hubble enhance and complement each other's unique capabilities," Jennifer Wiseman, senior project scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, told Insider.

O mașină electrică va produce criptomonede, făcând astfel bani cât stă în parcare. Numit Spiritus, automobilul construit de compania canadiană Daymak, ar urma să fie lansat pe piață în 2023. Și în timp ce majoritatea vehiculelor se depreciază în timp ce stau în garaj, Nebula va face bani în timp ce Spiritus este parcat. Daymak spune că Spiritus va ajunge de la 0 la 95 km/h în 1,8 secunde și va atinge o viteză maximă de 210 km/h. Spiritus va avea o autonomie de 480 de kilometri și se va încărca în mai puțin de două ore.Modelul standard Deluxe va costa în jur de 20.000 de dolari, în timp ce Ultimate ajunge la 149.000 de dolari.
