Hubble Telescope Captures Stunning View of Orion Nebula’s Protostars
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning view of the Orion Nebula, located 1,500 light-years from Earth. The new image highlights protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153, which are playing a key role in shaping their environment. These young stars are still in the process of formation, with the nebula's gas and dust feeding their growth. HOPS 15...

Pterosaur Tails Combined Aerodynamic Precision and Display Adaptations, Reveal New Study
Early pterosaurs featured long tails ending in leaf-shaped vanes, supported by a sophisticated tensioning system. This system, revealed through laser-stimulated fluorescence analysis of fossils, included criss-crossing fibres and tube-like structures that provided stiffness. These tails served a dual purpose: aiding flight by stabilising the vanes ...
