(CNN) — In a world first, scientists have observed the moment that a dying star consumed a planet — a fate that eventually awaits Earth.While astronomers have previously seen planets just before and just after being engulfed by a star, this is the first time that a planetary demise has been observed, according to a team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and the California Institute of Technology.“The fact that the solar system planets would get engulfed into the sun in the future was something I had read first in high school, so it was surreal to realize that we may have found the first ever example of catching a similar event in real time!” study lead author Kishalay De, a postdoctoral researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told CNN.The process sees a star billow out to a million times its original size as it runs out of fuel, engulfing any matter in its wake.

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:38:25 GMT

The Biden administration had no foreknowledge of an impending drone attack on the Kremlin, four U.S. officials said, and a top official recommends caution when it comes to Moscow’s claims.Russia said Wednesday that two drones flew overnight into the heart of Moscow to assassinate President Vladimir Putin, even though he wasn’t in the complex. Kyiv denies the allegation and officials said Ukraine had nothing to do with the attack. Instead, they insist it’s all a pretext created by the Kremlin to escalate its 14-month war.Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he’d take anything coming from the Kremlin with a “large shaker of salt” during a conversation with the Washington Post’s David Ignatius on Wednesday.Senior Biden administration officials are still working to confirm whether the suspected attack was ordered by Kyiv, conducted by a rogue pro-Ukraine group, or a false flag operation by Russia, two U.S. officials said.If it was Ukraine, “we had no advance knowledge,” said one of th...

FRANKFURT — The European Central Bank is expected to take its foot off the rate-tightening pedal by opting for a smaller rate hike of 0.25 percent on Thursday, while indicating that further rates are still to come.The ECB’s decision will follow on the heels of the U.S. Fed, which is also expected to hike by a modest 25 basis points later today but with the market predicting Chair Jerome Powell will signal a possible pause in tightening thereafter. “We believe the ECB may raise rates by 25 basis points and indicate an intention to hike further,” said Allianz Global Investors’ fixed income chief investment officer Franck Dixmier, referring to the outcome of the central bank’s rate-setting meeting. “While the U.S. Federal Reserve is almost at the end of its monetary policy tightening cycle, the European Central Bank is still far from any pivot.”A rate hike on Thursday would mark the seventh consecutive hike for the ECB, which has already lifted the key deposit rate from -0.5 per...

His recovery is believed to be the quickest for a position player — Tony Womack, who returned 182 days after the surgery in 2003, was the previous record holder.The original timeline had Harper slated for a return around July, however, against all odds, Harper expected to be back this early.“I kind of looked at this series in the offseason, to put my head where I needed to be,” Harper told reporters Monday. “Understanding that I need to take it one day at a time, understanding that we can have setbacks even if you feel great. But, I wanted to work toward something…“We’re healed to where I need to be and we’re just going to play the game smart, play it the right way. Understanding that I hel...
