NASA shares image of Lagoon Nebula, leaves internet awestruck

-

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has once again left its followers stunned with a picture of the Lagoon Nebula. The massive star at the centre of the image is 200,000 times brighter than the sun, according to the American space agency.

The Lagoon Nebula is located 4,000 light-years away and is visible in binoculars as a smudge of light with a bright core. According to NASA, the image of the nebula was taken by the Hubble Telescope on its 28th anniversary.

The giant star in the middle of the photo, called Herschel 36,  “is still young in a cosmic sense, roughly 1 million years old, and is throwing off its natal cocoon of material – ionized gasses like hydrogen and nitrogen”, according to the caption of the post. The red in the photo symbolises hydrogen, while the green colour denotes nitrogen.

The image received over 1.3 million likes in two days. Several users also posted comments on the stunning imagery, including the Canadian Space Agency, which wrote “Woweeee” followed by a heart-eyed emoji.

According to NASA, the Herschel 36 is 32 times bigger than our Sun, with a temperature of 40,000 degrees Kelvin. The star, which is nearly nine times the Sun’s diameter, will live for another five million years due to its mass. NASA's tribute to Greek composer Vangelis after news of the 79-year-old’s demise broke today has also grabbed eyeballs.

The space agency shared a video of its Juno mission with the words “Today, we honor the life of a star of our own. Vangelis created the soundtracks to some of our missions, finding synergy in music and space.”

The almost four-minute fly-by animation video featured music by Vangelis and animation by Koji Kuramura, Gerald Eichstädt and Mike Stetson. The clip featured the Juno mission’s 34th flyby of Jupiter, which took place on 7 June last year. The fly-by video was from the point of view of a “starship captain” and has garnered over six lakh views.

-
Image
Elon Musk finally took control of Twitter last week after buying it for a record $44 billion, one of the highest amounts anyone has ever paid in a tech acquisition. When Elon made the original offer to buy Twitter, Musk said that he is a free-speech absolutist . Musk and his fans had positioned him as an entity that would safeguard free speech at all costs. Well, it turns out, people really put that theory to the test. As per a report by The Washington Post, the use of certain derogatory epithets for African-Americans, Jews, and East Asians increased by up to 500 per cent on the platform, once news broke of Elon Musk taking over Twitter and firing most of its executive command, including CEO Parag Agarwal .

Apple pays Russia a fine of $13.7 million, imposed for abusing its dominant position on the App Store

-
Apple has settled a Russian fine of 1.2 billion roubles ($13.65 million), according to Russia’s FAS antitrust agency. The fine was imposed due to allegations of Apple abusing its dominant market position in relation to in-app payments, as per a report by Reuters. Apple had previously expressed a “respectful disagreement” with the FAS ruling, contending that the distribution of apps through its iOS operating system did not unfairly favour its products. Russia’s anti-monopoly watchdog, FAS, announced on Monday that it received the payment following a November ruling. The ruling found Apple guilty of preventing app developers from informing customers that they could make purchases outside of the App Store. The payment will contribute directly to the Russian budget, supporting the government’s financial needs amid increased defense spending related to the conflict in Ukraine. This dispute between Apple and Russia’s competition regulator predates the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022...
