Located in the NGC 5731 galaxy, approximately 120 million light-years from Earth, the particular star was 10 times bigger than the sun when it exploded. A star explodes almost every second or so somewhere in the universe, and scientists got a front-row seat to witness one for the first time in the history of astronomy. … Read more

First dynamic Covid surveillance system rolls out in 195 nations – ET HealthWorld

first dynamic covid surveillance system rolls out in 195 nations

NEW YORK: In a first, a team of scientists has developed a new Covid-19 global surveillance system which can dynamically track not just where the virus is now, but where it is going, how fast it will arrive and whether that speed is accelerating. The new surveillance system has now been rolled out in 195 … Read more
