Astronomers can detect powerful explosions from deeper and deeper universes.
Sometimes the source of these explosions remains a mystery.
Scientists recently witnessed a giant eruption 130 million light-years from Earth. Previously, hmm Discover a major conflict From the fusion of the two neutron stars known here – the collapsed stars may be the densest objects in the universe. But this dramatic event, which generated a powerful energy, began to fade. About three and a half years later, something else, Something newOr create another strange explosion or release of energy.
Edo Berger, a professor of astronomy at Harvard University and one of the scientists who discovered this new cosmic phenomenon, told Mashable that “something else is happening now.”
The energy explosion, captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Laboratory (which detects emissions from the hottest places in the universe) was intense. Astronomers compare him Loud voice Developed when a fast moving aircraft breaks the sound barrier.
At New research published in Letters from the Journal of AstronomyAstronomer Abrajita Hazela, who led the research, explained that astronomers are proposing two possible scenarios that could explain this phenomenon, both of which have not been observed before. Hazela holds a PhD in Physics and Astronomy from Northwestern University.
Kilonova Glow: What? In this land-breaking interpretation, when two neutron stars (one teaspoon of neutron star to one billion tons of matter) collide, they emit a very bright eruption, called a kilonova. A Kilonova could be very important to the universe and to our lives: astronomers believe that vital elements and minerals formed in these eruptions, such as gold and platinum. “It is one of the proposed dominant sites for the heavier elements of the universe,” he explainedHakela.
But after this massive eruption of Kilonova, astronomers suggested that the debris would leak into space, creating a shock wave or explosion. The explosion heated up anything like gases or star dust around it. This is the Kilonova glow or back glow, which we can detect millions of light years away.
Black hole: Another possibility is that the dramatic coupling of a neutron star led to the formation of a black hole – “an object with such a strong gravitational force that nothing, not even light, can escape”. NASA explains Now the object of the conflict falls into the black hole. When the debris falls, it releases more energy as it orbits a powerful dark object. It may be the source of this newly discovered energy from afar.

It is not surprising that two neutron stars collide in space. In fact, it is common for stars to orbit close to other stars in the same solar system. Many stars are not as lonely as the sun. “Most stars are actually found in systems with one or more companions,” Hegel explained. Eventually, the stars run out of fuel and fall off. Then, dense neutron stars may lose speed and collide, resulting in power connections and explosions.
Now, it is questionable how astronomers will be able to detect a kilonova glow or fall into a black hole. They will constantly see the type or radiation of light coming from this deep place. The evidence will be revealed. (If the glow is later, they expect higher radio emissions; but black holes emit X-ray emissions.)
Who knows what the following observations will reveal about events taking place in the deep universe?
On Sunday, the American probe “OSIRIS-REx” dropped a valuable scientific payload in the Utah desert of the United States, the first samples of an asteroid brought to Earth by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It is the largest sample collected to date from a similar astronomical object.
Scientists believe that these samples, collected from the asteroid “Bennu” in 2020, will help clarify the origin of the solar system and the formation of Earth as a habitable planet.
The landing is scheduled to take place around 9 am local time (15:00 GMT) on Sunday at a military site normally used to test missiles.
The OSIRIS-REx probe sends a capsule containing samples to an altitude of 100,000 kilometers above Earth, about four hours before landing.
The capsule’s final descent into the Earth’s atmosphere takes 13 minutes as it enters at a speed of about 44,000 kilometers per hour, causing friction to raise the temperature to 2,700 degrees Celsius.
The descent, monitored by military sensors, will be slowed by two successive parachutes, providing a smooth landing if all goes well.
The landing strip is 58 kilometers long and 14 kilometers wide. Rich Burns, mission director at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said during a press conference in late August that it was “like shooting a dart across the basketball court and hitting it right in the middle of the goal.”
If it is clear the night before that the capsule may not hit the designated area it may be decided not to launch it. At this point, the probe will orbit the Sun before attempting to relaunch the capsule in 2025.
Sandra Freund of Lockheed Martin, the manufacturer of the probe, cautioned that “(space) sample return missions are difficult because many problems can arise.”

Measures were taken in anticipation of the possibility of a “hard landing”. A test was conducted in late August, during which a replica capsule was dropped from a helicopter.
When the capsule lands on Earth, a team checks its condition before placing it in a net that will be lifted by a helicopter and transported to a temporary “clean room.”
The next day, the sample is flown to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
At this center, the capsule opens into another sealed chamber. Priority is given to not contaminating the sample with contaminants so as not to spoil the analysis and give false results. The process takes days.
NASA plans to hold a press conference on October 11 to announce the preliminary results.
However, part of the specimen will be preserved untouched so that future generations can study it using techniques not yet available.
“OSIRIS-REx” was launched in 2016, and in 2020, “Bennu” surprised scientists while collecting a sample for a few seconds, as the probe’s arm stuck to the surface of the asteroid, which showed that it was much less than its density. I thought.
But thanks to this, NASA expects the sample to contain about 250 grams of material, more than the original 60 gram target. According to project manager Melissa Morris, it is “the largest sample ever collected from a location outside lunar orbit”.
This mission is a first for the United States. But Japan has already arranged two. In 2020, the Hayabusa probe returned fine grains from asteroid Itogawa, and in 2020, Hayabusa 2 returned about 5.4 g from asteroid Ryuku.
According to Melissa Morris, asteroids “Bennu” and “Ryuku” are similar in appearance, but “Bennu” may turn out to be completely different in its composition.
Asteroids are interesting because they are made of the original material of the Solar System 4.5 billion years ago. Although these materials changed on Earth, asteroids remained the same.
Dante Lauretta, the lead scientist at the University of Arizona, said that “Bennu” is rich in carbon and that the sample brought back “may represent the seeds of life carried by these asteroids at the beginning of our planet.” to this wonderful biosphere.”
“Bennu”, which is 500 meters in diameter, approaches the Earth once every six years around the Sun.
There is a small risk (1 in 2700 chance) of a collision with Earth in 2182, which would have a catastrophic impact. It would be useful to provide more information about its composition. Last year, NASA managed to bump into an asteroid and deflect it from its path.

She got up Apple Describing how the new 80% charge limit setting for the iPhone 15 works in the update via its support page, Apple said this is what you can expect if you enable the setting:
If you choose the 80% limit, your iPhone will charge up to about 80% and stop charging. If the battery charge level drops to 75%, theverge reports that charging will continue until the battery charge level reaches around 80% again. .
With the 80% limit enabled, your iPhone will occasionally charge up to 100% to accurately gauge the battery’s charge level, and this new option joins the optimized battery charging system that’s been around on Apple devices for a few years.
This setting keeps the battery at 80% before it reaches its maximum capacity before you think you need to use the phone based on your usage patterns.
The new 80% limit will help prevent the unexpected drop in battery capacity reported by many iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro devices recently, and allows iPhone 15 series users to know the number of charging cycles for the battery.
