The European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile recently captured an image of a giant star named HD101584 shedding its outer layers. The star’s layers are being expelled at a speed of 1.75 million kilometers per hour, forming a spiral structure. Observing such phenomena can help scientists better understand the evolution of stars.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX recently launched its first all-civilian mission to orbit, marking a historic moment in space exploration. The mission, named Inspiration4, aims to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The crew, led by billionaire Jared Isaacman, includes a geoscientist, physician assistant, and childhood cancer survivor.

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed a new method for recycling lithium-ion batteries. The process involves disintegrating the batteries using high-speed jets of liquid nitrogen, separating the components, and reusing the materials to create new batteries. This innovation could help reduce electronic waste and promote sustainability.
