Located in the constellation Sagittarius, the young star HD 169142 is host to a giant protoplanet embedded within its dusty, gas-rich protoplanetary disk. This artist’s conception shows the Jupiter-like planet interacting with and heating nearby molecular gas, driving outflows seen in several emission lines, including those from shock-tracing molecules like SO and SiS, and the commonly seen 12CO and 13CO.

The study of 437,704 participants found that individuals experiencing hearing loss but not using hearing aids had a 1.7% risk of dementia, compared to 1.2% among those without hearing loss or using hearing aids.
