Luminous

UCLA astrophysicists have used new simulations to uncover that the earliest galaxies may have been smaller and brighter than previously believed, challenging current dark matter theories. By incorporating interactions between gas and dark matter, their research suggests that these bright dwarf galaxies, if found by the James Webb Space Telescope, could validate existing models. However, their absence would prompt a reevaluation of our understanding of dark matter and the universe’s formation.Should theories of cold dark…

In an extended dialogue between Marilynne Robinson and Barack Obama, published a few years ago in the New York Review of Books, Obama homes in on the dimension of Robinson’s writing that makes her so unusual as a 21st-century literary figure. “You’re a novelist,” he observes, “but you’re also – can I call you a theologian? Does that sound, like, too stuffy? You care a lot about Christian thought.”This could be described as something of an understatement. Robinson wears her faith on the sleeves of most of her books. In the…

Nintendo A new entry in the Endless Ocean series, Endless Ocean Luminous, was revealed at the February Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. It will be available on Nintendo Switch on May 2, 2024. The final game highlighted in Nintendo’s Partner Showcase was the latest entry in the deep-sea exploration series, titled Endless Ocean Luminous. The trailer invites players to dive deep into an underwater landscape never before seen by humans called the Veiled Sea. Perhaps borrowing some rogue-lite elements, the area is said…

Several new games were revealed in today’s Nintendo Direct including Endless Ocean Luminous. This marks the first Endless Ocean game in over a decade with Endless Ocean 2 dating back to 2010 in the west. Up to 30 players will be able to explore the Veiled Sea in an unexplored region of the South Pacific Ocean on May 2, 2024. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKXjoA_Gai4 In Endless Ocean Luminous, players will encounter and learn about over 500 species of marine life including some which are presumed extinct or even…

Astronomers and researchers have been studying the Universe for decades with the help of advanced telescopes and equipment around the world. Now, with the help of the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have located the brightest object in Universe. It is a quasar. Experts believe that this is the most luminous object ever found in deep space. And the brightness does not stem from something ordinary. The quasar is said to be energized by what is reported to be the fastest-growing…

This illustration depicts the aftermath of a collision between two giant exoplanets. What remains is a hot, molten planetary core and a swirling, glowing cloud of dust and debris. Credit: Mark A. GarlickResearchers have discovered evidence of a colossal exoplanet collision, marked by a glowing cloud of gas and dust, through observations of a young star’s unusual brightness fluctuations.A cosmic cloud, glowing with an unusual luminosity, has unveiled the aftermath of a cataclysmic collision in the cosmos. This discovery…

A batch of newly released images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope show in remarkable detail 19 spiral galaxies residing relatively near our Milky Way, offering new clues on star formation as well as galactic structure and evolution.The images were made public on Monday by a team of scientists involved in a project called Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) that operates across several major astronomical observatories.The closest of the 19 galaxies is called NGC 5068, about 15 million…

Yes, that’s Uranus. The giant icy orb looks more like an agatized dinosaur egg than a planet in this new image by the Webb Space Telescope.Webb Telescope Images the Pillars of CreationUranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, still holds plenty of secrets. We know it’s an ice giant, thought to be mostly (80% or more) icy water, ammonia, and methane surrounding a rocky core, and that it has skies rich with hydrogen sulfide. It also has a ring system, one that’s far less familiar to us than the circles around Saturn. Though…

A team of chemists at the University of Basel have pioneered a new synthesis method for creating chiral, or “twisted,” helicenes—compounds critical to the advancement of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)—which will open the door to better light sources.Twisted molecules play an important role in the development of organic light-emitting diodes. A team of chemists has managed to create these compounds with exactly the three-dimensional structure that they wanted. In so doing, they are smoothing the path for new and…
