To help her clients, Lev incorporates schema therapy, which involves each partner learning about how their core beliefs. She said she can predict what a couple's arguments are before she even meets them 90% of the time. Advertisement"When we look at what people believe, it tells us about how they behave," Lev told Business Insider. Learning about your schemas can not only solve problems with your partner but also help you become more vulnerable or assertive. It's to help people move closer to emotional maturity — or recognize when a relationship just isn't good for them.

☆ Scientists spot a planet that shouldn’t exist
  + stars: | 2023-06-28 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —A Jupiter-like planet located 520 light-years from Earth may be an unlikely survivor after its host star had a temper tantrum. The gas planet is known as 8 UMi b and was named Halla after its initial discovery by Korean astronomers in 2015. The exoplanet orbits a giant star larger than our sun named Baekdu, located in the Ursa Minor, or “Little Bear,” constellation. Halla orbits Baekdu at a distance about half that between the Earth and the sun at 0.46 astronomical units, or 42,759,659 miles (68,815,020 kilometers). While our solar system only has one star, many stars across the universe exist in binary pairs.

☆ It’s the End of a World as We Know It
  + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( Becky Ferreira | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Small stars, like red dwarfs, may shine for trillions of years, whereas the most massive stars explode just a few million years after their births. The light of some stars is polluted with the chemical signatures of planets, suggesting that whole worlds are being digested before our eyes. Those images revealed a star chilling at about 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, about 10 times colder than the searing temperatures expected from red novas. Puzzled, Dr. De and his colleagues observed the star again, this time in infrared light, using another camera at the Palomar Observatory and NASA’s NEOWISE space telescope. It dawned on the researchers that they were most likely watching a star gulping down a planet in real time.
☆ With a gulp and burp, a bloated star swallows a Jupiter-sized planet

As the star grew, its surface reached the orbit of the doomed planet, with mayhem ensuing. Red giant stars can swell to a hundred times their original diameter, engulfing any planets in their way. This planet, perhaps a few times bigger than Jupiter, orbited its star in less than a day at a distance closer than Mercury, our innermost planet, orbits the sun. Even before it is engulfed whole, our data provides evidence that the planet tries to rip out the star's surface layers with its own gravity. But the star happens to be a thousand times more massive so the planet can't do much and eventually makes the plunge," De said.
☆ Astronomers spot a sneak peek of Earth's death — a star swallowing a planet whole — for the first time
  + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( Morgan Mcfall-Johnsen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Astronomers discovered a distant star swallowing a planet for the first time ever. Swallowing the planet whole produced a burst of energy that expelled the star's outer layers, causing it to expand and brighten rapidly. Except for a veneer of dust, the star pretty much looked the same as it had before, one year after devouring its planet. The distant planet that just got absorbed by its star was about the size of Jupiter, which is more than 1,300 Earths. (It later turned out, this pre-eruption dust was material from the planet skimming the atmosphere of the star as it orbited closer and closer.)
