A giant diffuse tail of stars has been discovered emanating from a large, faint dwarf galaxy. The presence of a tail indicates that the galaxy has experienced recent interaction with another galaxy. This is an important clue for understanding how so called "ultra-diffuse" galaxies are formed.
Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope found a tail of star

As a consequence of Germany's phasing out of nuclear power, young people are steadily losing interest in the subject area of nuclear safety research. The number of graduates in this area is declining and there are ever fewer nuclear experts in Germany. At the same time, Germany still needs these specialists simply by virtue of the fact that our neighboring countries continue to operate existing

Remote sensing data reveals the state of our planet and allows us to look into Earth's past: it is an indispensable tool to help us better understand and protect our planet. How can we secure this tool long term while providing continuous access? The European Copernicus Earth observation programme seeks to answer this question.
On 24 January 2023, the 'Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem' was

In 1941, the National Academy of Sciences appointed a committee to assess the use of gas turbine engines - which use heat released during fuel combustion to produce thrust for propulsion - in aviation. The group of luminaries concluded that due to the temperature limitations of existing materials, gas turbines did not have much of a future in propelling airplanes.
However, "Unknown to the

Cosmic rays (CR) constitute high-energy particles that mainly originate outside our solar system. These primary CR interact with interstellar matter to produce secondary CR. The secondary nature of their origin is reflected in the higher abundance of light elements, such as boron (B), in secondary CR relative to the solar system. Likewise, the primary CR can be quantified in terms of the amount

China is a night-time 'hot-spot' for the production of nitrate radicals (PNO3) that could have a major impact on health-threatening ozone and fine particulates (PM2.5) in the atmosphere, a new study reveals.
The country has experienced a rapid increase in nocturnal production of NO3, whilst Europe and the US experienced a decline. Experts believe that this increase will have significant ai
INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The body shots are a lethal as ever, but in having moments of frustration while dispatching Ulises Sierra in three rounds on the Alexis Rocha-Geoge Ashie undercard on Saturday it was clear that super middleweight up-and-comer Bektemir Melikuziev is still rebuilding from his own shocking third-round KO loss to Gabriel Rosado in […]

In the months he was held in detention in Texas during his legal fight to remain in the United States, Afghan soldier Abdul Wasi Safi thought he would eventually be returned to his home country and likely meet death at the hands of the Taliban because of his work with the U.S. military. But Friday, he stood a free man, filled with hope that the help he provided the U.S. military will ultimately help him secure asylum in the U.S. Amid hugs from his brother and lawyers, Wasi Safi proudly smiled...
