T Coronae Borealis, also known as the “Blaze Star” or T CrB, is a binary star system located approximately 3,000 light-years from Earth. It could explode in spectacular fashion any day now. Normally too dim to see with the … Read more

Carlsberg may claim to be “probably the best beer in the world”, but apparently the glass is only half full. If its strategy to “go beyond beer” comes to fruition, it could soon become one of Britain’s biggest soft drinks groups too. At first glance, the Danish brewer’s bold (and so far rejected) £3.1 billion … Read more
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot – a storm larger than our entire planet – is one of the most visible features of the solar system, probably not long after the invention of the telescope, if not much earlier. However, new evidence shows that the site was created in 1831 and has been mistaken as a continuation … Read more
Centuries ago, a huge red spot on Jupiter disappeared. But years later a new one was born. Today we know this striking feature as the ‘Great Red Spot’, a swirling storm wider than Soil. Curiously, earlier astronomers, such as Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1665, also observed a colossal red storm at the same latitude on … Read more
Jupiter has long been famous for its Great Red Spot, but only recently did scientists learn more about how and how long ago it formed. The enormous vortex on the side of the solar system’s largest planet is a massive storm, long thought to have raged for more than 300 years, and larger than the … Read more
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS) is one of the defining features of the solar system. It is a huge storm that astronomers have observed since the 17th century. However, the date of founding and lifespan are subject to debate. Have we been seeing the same phenomenon all this time? The GRS is a giant anticyclonic … Read more

Architecture studio OMA has collaborated with DJ Harvey on a nightclub at the Potato Head resort in Seminyak, Bali, where optimized acoustics and a sprung dance floor take the experience for partygoers to the next level. Following the completion of the resort itself in 2020, OMA went back to work with the Potato Head Design … Read more
The remaining light from the early universe has a major flaw, and we don’t know how to fix it. It’s the cold spot. It’s just way too big and way too cold. Astronomers aren’t sure what it is, but largely agree it’s worth investigating. The cosmic microwave background (CMB) was created when our universe was … Read more
