Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected unexpected high-energy ultraviolet radiation around five infant stars, or protostars, in the Ophiuchus star birthing region. The discovery could prompt a change in our models of star formation.Protostars represent the initial stage of stars’ lifetimes following their formation via the collapse of dense patches of gas and dust in molecular clouds. They are still surrounded by envelopes of the material from which they form, and from which they gather mass. This mass-gathering process continues until the protostar is massive enough to trigger the fusion of hydrogen to helium in its core,…

Pope Leo takes peace message to Lebanon, target of Israeli strikes
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine.In May 2014, NASA announced at a press conference that a portion of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appeared to have reached a point of irreversible retreat. Glaciers flowing toward the sea at the periphery of the 2-kilometer-thick sheet of ice were losing ice faster than snowfall could replenish them, causing their edges to recede inland. With that, the question was no longer whether the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would disappear, but when. When those glaciers go, sea levels will rise by more than a meter, inundating land currently inhabited by 230…
