Astronomers from the University of Cambridge and elsewhere have analyzed the spectroscopic and photometric data from three instruments (NIRSpec, NIRISS and NIRCam) on board the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to identify galaxies at similar distances and with similar colors behind the lensing galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3-7327. This Webb image shows members of the SMACS0723_PC protocluster: the red circles show the position of the two spectroscopically confirmed galaxies and the green circles are at the position of the six other protocluster members candidates.

Carbon monoxide is ultra-bright and extremely common in protoplanetary disks, making it a prime target for astronomers. But a huge chunk of carbon monoxide is missing in all observations of such disks, if the current predictions of its abundance are correct. According to new research led by the Harvard & Smithsonian’s Center for Astrophysics, carbon monoxide has been hiding in ice formations within the protoplanetary disks.

Astronomers using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the SPIRou spectropolarimeter on the 3.6-m Canada-France-Hawaii telescope have discovered a temperate super-Earth exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf in the binary system TOI-1452. An artistic rendition of the super-Earth TOI-1452b. Image credit: Benoit Gougeon, Université de Montréal. The TOI-1452 binary system resides about 100 light-years away in the constellation of Draco. Also known as TIC 420112589 or 2MASS J19204172+7311434, it consists of two M-dwarf (red dwarf) stars. The two stars orbit each other once every 1,400 years and are separated by a small distance — 97 AU (astronomical units), or about 2.5 times the distance between the Sun and…

Anne Hathaway swears for a pizza brand from the frozen aisle despite its high carbohydrate level. In a recent interview for Live with Kelly and Ryan, the actress revealed that this comfort food helped her and her family get through 2020. “We found this brand of frozen pizza that we loved, and that was our saving grace this year,” she told hosts Kelly Ripa, and Ryan Seacrest. The Oscar-winning movie star also refused to share the company creating her new favorite pizzas. “[I would tell you which brand], but then I can’t buy it anymore. Right now, it’s our little secret in the freezer…

Anne Hathaway opens up about her experience, being pregnant with her second child, while working on the set of the HBO movie The Witches. The 38-year-old star who is now promoting her new film Locked Down, revealed she had a very different experience during pregnancy, in comparison to when she was expecting her now 4-year-old son Jonathan. Confessing that she probably wouldn‘t have been able to go through the filming of the project if she was carrying her first child Anne went on to explain during her latest interview that with Jonathan she felt like she couldn’t get off the couch, and wanted to eat…

When you are a fan of such an iconic movie like The Devil Wears Prada, thinking about other actors to play the role somehow feels like it would not have been the same. Recently the cast of the fashion movie revealed that Anne Hathaway’s part was initially offered to Rachel McAdams multiple times. Director David Frankel revealed to Entertainment Weekly that although Meryl Streep’s role as Miranda Priestly was a no-brainer, they had Rachel McAdams, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson, and Kirsten Dunst on the list for a potential Andy Sachs. They had Rachel McAdams, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson, and Kirsten Dunst on the list for a potential Andy Sachs. “We…

Pictures of a large Western Aᴜsᴛʀᴀʟɪᴀn lizard chowing down on a ᴘᴏɪsᴏɴᴏᴜs tiger snake have surfaced in the state’s South West. Although this ᴘᴏɪsᴏɴᴏᴜs snake is capable of ᴋɪʟʟing an adult human with a single Bɪᴛᴇ, it cannot compete with this hungry lizard. While traveling north of Walpole, Department of Parks and Wildlife officer Janine Liddelow observed a southern heath monitor eating soᴍᴇᴛʜing. She said that the first thing she did was try to avoid running it down. She realized it was a tiger snake when she saw it writhing about in its mouth. A particularly unfortunate tiger snake made…

In the global battle between pythons and crocodiles, chalk one up for the snakes. A grisly new series of photos shows an olive python (Liasis olivaceus) scarfing down an Australian freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus johnstoni). The photos come courtesy GG Wildlife Rescue Inc., a nonprofit in Australia, which shared them on its Facebook page on May 31. The images were taken near Mount Isa, Queensland, by kayaker Martin Muller. Pythons are known for their dietary ambition. The large snakes have been found with the remains of everything from deer larger than themselves and impalas to prickly porcupines in their bellies. These snakes also happily eat one another, as witnessed in May…

As if weaving a friendship bracelet of death, two of the world’s most dangerous snakes, black mambas, can be seen twisting around each other during a rarely videotaped battle in South Africa. The action was recorded by Kirstie Bowers of Johannesburg, South Africa, while she was on safari in Pilanesberg National Park in the country’s North West Province. “That’s a really nice video,” says Kenneth Krysko, the collection manager of the herpetology division at the Florida Museum of Natural History. “It really shows two males in a classic combat behavior, with each trying to make the other one submit.” The snakes will sometimes bite each…

Although hippos are regarded as the most hazardous animals in Africa, a group of roughly 30 bold turtles attempted to transform one into a huge sun lounger. Until the hippo moved, the turtles ʟᴏsᴛ their balance and fell. The massive hippo, which could have weighed up to 2.5 tons, was ambushed by a large number of much smaller pan hinged terrapins in Sᴏᴜᴛʜ Aғʀɪᴄᴀ’s Kruger National Park after taking a quick bath. The Sᴏᴜᴛʜ Aғʀɪᴄᴀn marshes and slow-moving rivers are home to a variety of water-loving reptiles that like floating near to the water’s surface or sunbathing on rock faces.…

Almost any smaller animal that a red-tailed hawk can snag with its talons will become their meal. They are a ғᴇᴀʀsome predator that pounces on animals from above, using its vantage point and speed to its advantage. Their hawk eyes help them to focus on prey since they typically perch high above or fly over an open region. They are among the sharpest birds in North America and have vision that is up to ten times as good as that of humans. One of their favorite foods is snakes, so chances are that if you’ve ever spent time in farmland…

The epic tug-of-war between a lion and a crocodile over an antelope carcass was caught on camera in gripping footage. By diving into the river’s shallows, where the crocodile had the home-field advantage, the lion took a significant ʀɪsᴋ. Even though they have a reputation for being fierce, lions may nevertheless be bitten by crocodiles and suffer serious injuries. With only one ᴀᴄᴄɪᴅᴇɴᴛal slip, the animal may suffocate the enormous cat by holding it in its teeth beneath the water’s surface. Because they are cunning ʜᴜɴᴛers, crocodiles are ғᴇᴀʀed all throughout the world. A crocodile leads a semi-aquatic lifestyle and…

The Burmese python goes beyond the post-meal bulge: Its intestines and other organs grow too, and these changes happen within days of eating. A recent study in Physiological Genomics examined how the organs can grow so much so soon. The Burmese python takes about 10 days to digest its meal. Within two days of eating, its metabolism and digestive processes are working 10 to 44 times faster. Three days after eating, its heart, liver, small intestines and other organs have grown to up to double in size. The meal is digested by the 10th day after eating, and these bodily…

A group of researchers stumbled upon a grisly scene during a field study in Macedonia last year: a dead nose-horned viper with a centipede’s head sticking out of its ruptured abdomen. After a post-mortem, the scientists think it’s possible that the centipede quite literally eviscerated the snake from the inside out. “All of us were astonished, as nobody has ever seen something like this,” Ljiljana Tomović, a herpetologist at the University of Belgrade, told Live Science in an email. Tomović and colleagues were tagging reptiles on May 14, 2013, on Macedonia’s Golem Grad, a 44-acre (18 hectares) island in Lake Prespa that’s crowded with thousands of tortoises, tens…

New data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope compliment each other to provide a comprehensive view of the spiral galaxy Messier 74. Messier 74, a grand design spiral galaxy located 32 million light-years away in the constellation of Pisces, shines at its brightest in this combined optical/mid-infrared image, featuring Webb and Hubble data. The red colors mark dust threaded through the arms of the galaxy, lighter oranges being areas of hotter dust. The young stars throughout the arms and the nuclear core are picked out in blue. Heavier, older stars towards the galaxy’s center are…

She was joined on set by Ferrera, who was seen wearing a Mummy costume for their shoot on Tuesday evening. For the 38-year-old’s transformation into Neytiri, she had to wear both facial prosthetics and blue face paint. There was also a bow…

When Jenny was a kid and Shirley was in her early twenties, two elephants who had both been stolen from the wild and carried kilometers from their actual home briefly crossed paths in a circus. Shirley then assumed the role of Jenny’s mother in the circus before they were torn apart in two different ways. Over the years, Jenny faced a great lot of suffering while evading her trainers and appearing in the circus. She was eventually taken to the Hawthorn Corporation in Illinois for breeding reasons, where she sustained a ᴛᴇʀʀɪʙʟᴇ injury that left her walking for many years…

This baby elephant is curious about everything despite being fresh to the world. The way he approaches the visitor makes that clear. You can see in the video how the elephant touches the wOᴍᴀɴ’s face as it seems curious as to why her trunk is not there. Most likely, he is unaware that the wOᴍᴀɴ is not of the same species as him and is not a member of the elephant family. The small elephant is puzzled and attempting to figure out where the trunk might be hiding, as seen in the video’s opening sᴄᴇɴᴇ. His hilarious reaction when he…

An anaconda ᴄʟᴏsᴇ to some water appeared to be taunted by a jaguar. Despite the ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴛ that each creature offered to the other, none of them intended to give up the struggle. The anaconda battled back repeatedly, trying to get away from this ferocious cat’s grasp. Jaguars stalk and ambush their prey rather than chasing after it. These enormous cats will wander after listening for their prey until they are ᴄʟᴏsᴇ enough to pursue and ᴋɪʟʟ it. They usually employ a neck Bɪᴛᴇ to choke prey, or they will break the vertebrae of more difficult prey to immobilize it before…

Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway acknowledge how daunting it was to play versions of James Gray’s working-class Jewish father and mother for the filmmaker’s memory piece about his childhood in Queens, “Armageddon Time.” They wanted to absorb real-life details, but they also took to heart Gray’s belief that they should prioritize soulfulness over impersonation. Says Strong, who plays exacting plumber dad Irving Graff, “One of the first things he said to us both was, ‘Whatever you do, don’t nail it. I’m not interested in you nailing it.’” Hathaway, who plays Irving’s wife Esther, a PTA mom concentrated on her sons’ prospects in life, says…
