Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:18:09 GMT

(CNN) — Nuevas imágenes del Telescopio Espacial James Webb revelaron sorprendentes pares de objetos que parecen planetas en la Nebulosa de Orión, los cuales nunca antes se habían detectado.La Nebulosa de Orión, una brillante nube de polvo y gas, es una de las nebulosas más brillantes del cielo y puede identificarse como la espada de la constelación de Orión. Ubicada a 1.300 años luz de la Tierra, la nebulosa les ha proporcionado a los astrónomos durante mucho tiempo una gran cantidad de objetos celestes para estudiar, incluidos discos de formación de planetas alrededor de estrellas jóvenes y enanas marrones, u objetos con una masa entre la de los planetas y las estrellas.Los astrónomos utilizaron la cámara de infrarrojo cercano del telescopio Webb, llamada NIRCam, para capturar mosaicos de la Nebulosa de Orión en longitudes de onda de luz cortas y largas, revelando detalles sin precedentes y descubrimientos inesperados.Cuando los astrónomos Samuel G.

Reaction to the death of Chicago Bears great Dick Butkus

Reaction to the death of Chicago Bears great Dick Butkus:___“Dick was the ultimate Bear, and one of the greatest players in NFL history. He was Chicago’s son. He exuded what our great city is about and, not coincidentally, what George Halas looked for in a player: toughness, smarts, instincts, passion and leadership. He refused to accept anything less than the best from himself, or from his teammates. When we dedicated the George Halas statue at our team headquarters, we asked Dick to speak at the ceremony, because we knew he spoke for Papa Bear. Dick had a gruff manner, and maybe that kept some people from approaching him, but he actually had a soft touch. His legacy of philanthropy included a mission of ridding performance enhancing drugs from sports and promoting heart health. His contributions to the game he loved will live forever and we are grateful he was able to be at our home opener this year to be celebrated one last time by his many fans. We extend our condolences to Hele...

An investigation determined that one of the officers, Wesley Shifflett, fired the fatal shot. Shifflett was fired after the shooting.“We know it’s important,” ...

Por qué los jóvenes en China están abandonando sus empleos y organizando “fiestas de renuncia”

(CNN) — El día que Liang renunció a su trabajo en un banco de la provincia china de Zhejiang, sus amigos organizaron una fiesta y le felicitaron tocando gongs y tambores, como en la tradición de rituales matrimoniales.Sus amigos, que también habían renunciado a sus empleos, prendieron una flor en el pecho de Liang bajo un cartel rojo en el que se leía: “Se acabó este trabajo de m****a”.A su alrededor colgaban farolillos, pancartas y carteles de “doble felicidad” típicos de las bodas, con las mesas llenas de comida.Todos los asistentes a la fiesta recibieron una invitación que decía: “Espero que comas bien y bebas bien, escapa de la amargura cuanto antes”.Puede parecer extraño celebrar el hecho de dejar un trabajo estable con un salario envidiable, sobre todo cuando escasean este tipo de puestos y en medio de las sombrías perspectivas económicas de China y una tasa récord de desempleo juvenil.Pero Liang, de 27 años, que desde entonces se dedi...
