Many Gen Z job seekers are asking about work-life balance during interviews. There wasn't a big focus on work-life balance when many of today's managers started working more than a decade ago. Gen Zers need to know the industry before asking about work-life balanceSome industries invite questions of work-life balance, according to Gen Zers and hiring managers who spoke with Insider. "If you were to directly ask, 'Can you describe the work-life balance for analysts at your firm?' Mary Cooney, the founder of the professional-development platform Generation IQ, said it's time to move on from this stigma of work-life balance.

Astronomers classify night skies from dark to bright using the Bortle Scale, ranked from one to nine. Light pollution is when artificial light washes out the night sky and makes it hard to see stars. While it might not be as potentially harmful as other kinds of pollution, light pollution can affect human health. Level four classifies the transition from suburban to rural areas, where you can see the Milky Way. The night sky is brimming with stars, making it harder to parse out faint constellations.

☆ James Webb Space Telescope reveals birth of a star in a cosmic hourglass

CNN —The cosmic chaos caused by a very young star has been captured in the latest enchanting image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The protostar the image centers around is hidden from view in the neck of a dark, hourglass-shape cloud of gas and dust. The thicker the layer of dust, the less blue light is able to escape, creating pockets of orange. As a result, the protostar dominates the space, taking much of the material for itself,” according to the news release. Webb, which first began sharing new perspectives on the universe in July, is an international partnership between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.

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 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.

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.
