SH2 132 – The Lion Nebula

Cortical Labs would like to sell you a brain in a box. It’ll cost about $35,000, and you can teach it to do all kinds of nifty things. If that’s out of your price range, you can sign up for its ‘Wetware-as-a-Service’ and rent bio-computer processing power from a rack of living tissues welded to…

Yellow dots mark the locations of 29 quasars newly discovered by ESA’s Euclid space telescope, set against its survey footprint (blue) and an all-sky map from ESA’s Planck mission. The two red dots are the record-breakers — EUCL J172902.75+641018.1 and EUCL J125308.55+705432.3 — the oldest quasars ever identified.

Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the City University of New York Graduate Center (CUNY-ASRC) have demonstrated something English mathematician and physicist Sir Roger Penrose predicted over 50 years ago. According to Penrose, it would be possible to extract energy from a rapidly spinning (Kerr) black hole by inserting an object into the…

Shielding astronauts from the killer radiation they face is a central challenge facing any designer of a deep-space crewed mission. Even relatively low levels of exposure for long periods of time can lead to everything from central nervous system damage to cancer. But current solutions, such as passive water shells or active superconducting magnets, have…
