Webb Telescope Captures Intriguing Evidence of Mysterious ‘Dark Star’
For the past 15 years, scientists have discovered a class of stars powered by a mysterious substance called dark matter, rather than the fusion of atoms like the Sun and other ordinary stars, which has only been hypothesized and never observed. I’ve been looking for evidence. Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope’s ability to look back at the dawn of the universe, the first likely candidate for a ‘dark star’ has been identified.
Russian scientists warn of strong solar flare activity on Monday
After three flares were observed on the sun on Sunday, Russian scientists said strong solar flare activity is expected on Monday and could disrupt shortwave communications. The Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics in Moscow said a Class X flare, including proton flares, was a possibility and expected to worsen shortwave radio conditions.
Using genetic technology to prevent male chicks from hatching and avoiding culling
Every year, poultry farmers kill 7 billion day old male chicks. This is because they cannot grow to lay eggs and are an unsuitable breed for meat. An Israeli laboratory has found a solution. What if the male eggs don’t hatch? At Yuval Cinnamon’s lab in central Israel, the chicks are all female, where new technology is helping to solve what he calls “the world’s most devastating animal welfare problem.” provides an answer to what we call culling and selection of day-old male chicks.
