Hubble Seeks Clusters in Lost Galaxy

Handout Photo shows NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 4535, which is situated about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden). Through a small telescope, this galaxy appears extremely faint, giving it the nickname ‘Lost Galaxy’. With a mirror spanning nearly eight feet (2.4 meters) across and its location above Earth’s light-obscuring atmosphere, Hubble can easily observe dim galaxies like NGC 4535 and pick out features like its massive spiral arms and central bar of stars. This image features NGC 4535’s young star clusters, which dot the galaxy’s spiral arms. Glowing-pink clouds surround many of these bright-blue star groupings. These clouds, called H II (‘H-two’) regions, are a sign that the galaxy is home to especially young, hot, and massive stars that blaze with high-energy radiation. Such massive stars shake up their surroundings by heating their birth clouds with powerful stellar winds, eventually exploding as supernovae. The image incorporat

Notre Dame Is Reopening This Week - Paris

Preparations are underway as invite-only ceremonies Saturday and Sunday will launch the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral five years after fire reduced it to a shell. About 50 world leaders are expected on Saturday, while nearly 170 bishops from France and other countries will attend an inaugural mass and consecration of the new altar on Sunday morning. The Notre-Dame de Paris was first built in the 12th century and has remained an emblem of French Gothic architecture ever since, beloved by locals and travellers alike. Before the fire, the cathedral saw around 12 million visitors each year, a number expected to rise to 15 million post-reconstruction. Paris, France, December 5, 2024.

Preparations are underway as invite-only ceremonies Saturday and Sunday will launch the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral five years after fire reduced it to a shell. About 50 world leaders are expected on Saturday, while nearly 170 bishops from France and other countries will attend an inaugural mass and consecration of the new altar on Sunday morning. The Notre-Dame de Paris was first built in the 12th century and has remained an emblem of French Gothic architecture ever since, beloved by locals and travellers alike. Before the fire, the cathedral saw around 12 million visitors each year, a number expected to rise to 15 million post-reconstruction. Paris, France, December 4, 2024.

Ports Strike Causes First Shutdown In Almost 50 Years - USA

- Port workers participate in a strike at Red Hook Terminal in Brooklyn, New York, the United States, on October 1, 2024. About 45,000 port workers across the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts went on strike Tuesday as a midnight deadline for a new labor deal over wages and automation had passed. Tens of thousands of dockworkers have gone on strike indefinitely at ports across much of the US, threatening significant trade and economic disruption ahead of the presidential election and the busy holiday shopping season. Members of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) walked out on Tuesday at 14 major ports along the east and gulf coasts, halting container traffic from Maine to Texas. The action marks the first such shutdown in almost 50 years. Photo by Liu Yanan/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
