Stars are light years away from us living calmly for millions to billions of years unless it’s dying then all hell breaks loose or in star language, they turn into crazy whirligigs, puffing off shells and jets of hot gas.
Unprecedented levels of complexity and rapid changes in jets and gas bubbles blasting off of the stars at the centers of nearby young planetary nebulas are being observed by Astronomers.
Using Hubble’s full range of imaging capabilities, researchers suspect that at the hearts of both nebulas are — or were — two stars circling around each other. And further theorized that the two stars orbit one another closely enough that they eventually interact, producing a gas disk around one or both stars.
“The hypothesis of merging stars seems the best and simplest explanation for the features seen in the most active and symmetric planetary nebulas. It’s a powerful unifying concept, so far without rival.”
– Bruce Balick of the University of Washington in Seattle
NGC 6302: “The Butterfly Nebula”
NGC 6302 is dubbed the Butterfly Nebula because of its wing-like appearance. At first it appears chaotic, but if you stare for a while, you can trace its patterns. The S-shape present in the Butterfly Nebula, are gas blown out at high speed by a star.
NGC 7027: “The ‘Jewel Bug’ Nebula”
NGC 7027 resembles a jewel bug, an insect with a brilliantly colorful metallic shell. It has been slowly puffing away its mass in quiet, spherically symmetric or perhaps spiral patterns for centuries — until relatively recently.
“Something recently went haywire at the very center, producing a new cloverleaf pattern, with bullets of material shooting out in specific directions.”

An adviser to the government’s pandemic response task force said on Monday that because of the rising cases in its neighboring Eastern Visayas, Cebu City could be the next “hotspot” for COVID-19.
After the continuous increase in number of cases in Cebu, Cebu City was re-escalated to Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) while the neighboring cities and the Cebu Province remain under GCQ.
Because of the returning citizens from the Central Visayas, Metro Manila and abroad, the infections in Eastern Visayas have risen, said Ted Herbosa, executive vice-president of the University of the Philippines.
“The city of Cebu might be our next hotspot. As you know cases in Manila is going down and cases in Cebu is going up and Region 8 is also alarming because they suddenly have many cases, which are mostly from Balik-Probinsiya (Program) and OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) returning,”
– Ted Herbosa told the ABS-CBN News Channel
Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella earlier attributed the increase to a higher capacity for testing.
“True enough when you do more testing, you get to see more confirmed cases. Once you see them confirmed, you must isolate them so the transmission will decrease,” Herbosa said.
As of June 23, 2020, Cebu City has a total of 4,479 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 2,177 recoveries and 89 deaths. Recovery rate is at 48.60%; fatality rate at 1.99%.
However, despite the arising cases in the Visayas, the Philippines’ fatality rate is still at 4.6%, lower than the global average of 5.1%, said Herbosa.
On June 22, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, a former military chief, to oversee the pandemic response in Cebu City as its COVID-19 cases breached the 4,400-mark.

Lumos maxima! The future is bright for all the Potterheads out there.
Another wizarding world of Harry Potter is set to open its gates in Tokyo by the spring of 2023.
This new amusement park will feature characters and stories of the Harry Potter books and films, and will be built on the site of “Toshimaen”.
The 94-year-old amusement park Toshimaen in Tokyo will be transformed into a magical place where the Warner Bros is planning to build the favorite Harry Potter movie’s sets on the site.
The attraction will resemble that of “Warner Bros Studio Tour London The Making of Harry Potter” which operates in the United Kingdom.
If this is true, then we should expect a lot of wonderful experiences once it opens like:
View production sets and immersed in the magic
Casting spells with wand props and maybe make our own potions
Explore the shopping street of Diagon Alley
Well, I just hope they don’t forget to put up the three broomsticks for a nice mug of butterbeer after enjoying the park.
The secret is out. Or should I say, a part of it is out.
The director of ‘Justice League: The Snyder Cut’, Zack Snyder himself tweeted out a tease of the much anticipated HBO Max special.
“Snyder Cut” of Justice League is set to have its first big reveal at DC’s FanDome event in August, but this clip just about hyped up all the DC fans out there.
In the first look, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is seen exploring an underground cave or dark ruin, while a voiceover of Jesse Eisenberg’s speech as Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice plays. She then sees an image of Darkseid and a prophecy of his arrival.
Darkseid is the villain that Snyder has teased and talked about on his personal Vero account for years and was originally intended to be in Justice League but was cut out of the final version of the film.
Announced as an HBO Max exclusive in May, Snyder’s darker take on the film comes after disappointed fans continually voiced their interest in seeing the director’s true vision of the Justice League.
Snyder originally stepped away from Justice League following the death of his daughter and the fandom then have taken issue with the lighter, more comedic contributions on that last film.
“The best part about being Aquaman is that Zack Snyder created me so I get to see all this awesome shit before anyone. Here’s a first-ever peek at Zack Snyder‘s Justice League.”
– Jason Momoa aka “Aquaman”, first posted the clip on Instagram
