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

Concern Over Mercury Levels In Canned Tuna - France

Cans of tuna are seen in a supermarket aisle on November 2, 2024 in France. Concerns have been raised over the levels of mercury in canned tuna products in France following a report by two consumer watchdog organisations. Bloom and Foodwatch said they carried out tests in independent laboratories on 148 cans of tuna across multiple brand types, which came from France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the UK, and all were found to have traces of mercury, some of them significantly. Over 50 % of the tins had mercury levels above the thresholds given for fresh fish such as sardines, and one in ten had mercury levels above the legal limits on fresh tuna.
