Unprecedented discovery seems to defy fundamental astronomical theories

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:34:09 GMT

(CNN) — New images from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed surprising pairs of planet-like objects in the Orion Nebula that have never been detected before.The Orion Nebula, a glowing cloud of dust and gas, is one of the brightest nebulae in the night sky and identifiable as the sword in the Orion constellation. Located 1,300 light-years from Earth, the nebula has long presented astronomers with a wealth of celestial objects to study, including planet-forming disks around young stars and brown dwarfs, or objects with a mass between that of planets and stars.Astronomers used Webb’s near-infrared camera, called NIRCam, to capture mosaics of the Orion Nebula in short and long wavelengths of light, revealing unprecedented details and unexpected discoveries.When astronomers Samuel G. Pearson and Mark J. McCaughrean studied the short-wavelength image of the Orion Nebula, they zoomed in on the Trapezium Cluster, a young star-forming region that’s about 1 million ye...

Slovakia halts Ukraine aid after pro-Russia Fico’s election win

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:34:09 GMT

Slovakia’s caretaker government said it has halted sending further military aid to Ukraine as political parties that oppose such support are in talks to form a coalition following last weekend’s election.“The outgoing bureaucratic government in Slovakia will not send any more military material to Ukraine,” a government spokesman said. The country’s defense ministry was considering sending a new package of aid.Former Prime Minister Robert Fico’s leftist-populist Smer party won the parliamentary election last Saturday after promising to stop sending weapons to Ukraine, to block Kyiv’s potential NATO membership and to oppose sanctions on Russia.Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová on Monday asked Fico to try to form a coalition government. He has until October 16 to do so.“The decision about this issue should reflect the outcome of the recent parliamentary elections and should follow the outcome of the government-formation talks, which are taking place these days,&...

Russia must pay — and there is no reason why it shouldn’t

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:34:09 GMT

Gintarė Skaistė is the minister of finance of the Republic of Lithuania.Ukraine has been remarkably successful in defending itself from the aggressor Russia, and support from the European Union and Western allies has significantly bolstered its resilience. Yet, we need to collectively do more, including taking unconventional steps — like using frozen and immobilized Russian assets.Over the past year, the EU has made significant progress in identifying a potentially viable legal approach to utilize the over €200 billion of immobilized Russian central bank assets located in member countries, in order to aid Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts. Among the various options explored, consensus seems to be emerging that introducing a “windfall contribution” option would be the most promising way forward — and would be compatible with both EU and international law.This solution entails requiring custodians holding these immobilized assets to transfer their windfall profits — e...

France blocks American takeover of nuclear suppliers

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:34:09 GMT

PARIS — France has vetoed the acquisition of nuclear parts suppliers Segault and Velan SAS by American group Flowserve, the French economy ministry said Friday.The deal came under the spotlight earlier this year, when both the opposition and the government turned the takeover into a political test for France’s industrial sovereignty ambitions. French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire has been walking the tightrope between maintaining France as an attractive investment destination and maintaining sovereignty when it comes to strategic technology. When American industrial machinery giant Flowserve announced earlier this year its intention to take over Canada’s industrial valves group Velan, French authorities signaled they would look into the deal to potentially carve out Velan’s French subsidiaries (Segault and Velan SAS) based on strategic reasons. Following the French veto, Flowserve announced it would abandon its plans to take over Velan worldwide.  Segault — a s...
