A rare and spectacular sight is set to grace the night sky in the coming weeks as the “devil comet,” known officially as 12P/Pons-Brooks, becomes visible to stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere. This elusive comet, which only visits Earth once every 71 years, is expected to be at its brightest before April 21, making it a must-see event for astronomy enthusiasts. To catch a glimpse of this celestial wonder, experts recommend heading to the countryside away from city lights, where the comet will be most visible to the naked eye. Binoculars may also help in spotting the comet as it…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has provided a groundbreaking new perspective on NGC 604, a star-forming region in the Triangulum Galaxy, using mid-infrared wavelengths. The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on the telescope revealed some surprising findings that are shedding light on the processes happening within this cosmic hotspot. One of the key discoveries from the MIRI view is the revelation of fewer stars in NGC 604 compared to what was previously observed in other wavelengths. This is attributed to the fact that hot stars emit less light in mid-infrared wavelengths, allowing larger clouds of cooler gas and dust to stand out…

Economists anticipate that the consumer price index will reveal a 3.1% increase in prices for the month of February, with monthly inflation expected to rise by 0.4%. This uptick is largely attributed to the rise in energy prices, which have been steadily climbing in recent months.

These numbers highlight the ongoing trend of inflation remaining above the Federal Reserve’s target rate of 2%, prompting close monitoring by Fed officials. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has made it clear that interest rates…

A breakthrough for those struggling with obesity and heart disease has been announced by the FDA, with the approval of Wegovy for a new use: reducing the risks of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular-related death in adults who are overweight or obese.

Participants who received Wegovy had a lower rate of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular-related deaths compared to those who received a placebo. This has led to the FDA’s decision to expand the medication’s use. The drug’s maker,…
