Seeing universe's most massive known star

Astronomy is making fantastic new discoveries all the time, not just with space based telescopes but with ground based observatories too.

By harnessing the capabilities of the Gemini South telescope in Chile, astronomers have obtained the sharpest image ever of the star R136a1, the most massive known star in the universe. Their research challenges our understanding of the most massive stars and suggests that they may not be as massive as previously thought. 

This article explains more.

We are improving our knowledge and understanding all the time, with new telescopes both earth and space based due to come online over the next decade alone. This is probably a good time to start looking at studying astronomy and being part of something really exciting.

Simple method destroys dangerous 'forever chemicals,' making water safe

Forever chemicals, known as PFAs, are found all over the world. Due to their nature, they are not broken down in nature.

As this means they are also found in drinking water, it puts humans at risk of harm. New research has found a way to remove these from water and make drinking water safer for consumption.

Wind turbine blades could someday be recycled into sweet treats

Interesting article on New wind turbine technology that is more sustainable and allows old turbines to be disposed of and recycled. This is an important step forward as waste is still a big problem so finding more environmentally friendly with producing green energy makes that greener and better for the environment.

Also included a link to Science Forums to discuss further, again please link directly to the original article.
