A camera, stabilized relative to the Milky Way, shows the rotation of our planet😍

A highly distant and extremely luminous quasar TON 618 is 10,400 million away in the direction of the galactic north pole in Canes Venatici. It contains the most massive black hole known, with a mass 66,000 million times that of the Sun.

A dusty, cold, desolate world with an extremely thin atmosphere Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. It is also a dynamic planet with seasons, polar ice caps, canyons, extinct volcanoes, and evidence that it was even more active in the past.

Abnormal natural phenomenon An enormous rotating ice disk with a diameter of more than 90 meters appeared in the river of the American city of Westbrook. Such a phenomenon is formed naturally when water streams grind the ice cover into small pieces and form a circle.

DNA building blocks found in meteorites Using modern analytical techniques, scientists have discovered pyrimidine bases necessary for building DNA and RNA in three carbon-rich meteorites. The discovery supports the idea that the building blocks, playing a role in the genetic functions of early life, were transported to Earth from space. The findings are presented in the journal Nature Communications. "Two types of chemical building blocks, or nitrogenous bases, are needed to form DNA and RNA. These are the pyrimidines, which include cytosine, uracil and thymine, and the purines," the study authors say.

Interplanetary station Psyche was deemed ready for launch into space NASA has announced the successful completion of all tests of the interplanetary station Psyche, going into space in August of this year. Now the station is fully ready to launch, and to reach the asteroid Psyche, it should in 2026, according to the website of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at NASA. The asteroid (16) Psyche is one of the most interesting bodies in the Main Belt to study and has only been observed with ground-based telescopes. It is the largest representative of metallic asteroids, which could be the core of a protoplanet or a fragment of one that formed in the early Solar System.

30 exocomets have been discovered in the young star system ✨ Astronomers' findings show that comets orbiting the Sun and Beta Animal were formed in the same scenario, through a series of collisions and decays. Analyzing data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) exoplanet hunter that it collected over 156 days, astronomers found thirty comets in the system of the young star Beta Pictoris (β Pictoris) and determined the size of their nuclei. "For the past few decades, this star has been under the close scrutiny of astronomers because it allows us to observe the process of planetary system formation," the authors of the study tell us.
