In opening match of the T20 Cricket World Cup 2024, USA defeated Canada by seven wickets.

It's difficult to describe in words. It's a fierce rivalry, and Canada always comes out swinging against us. I'm just glad to see my side win. Since the outfield is quick and the wicket is superb, I've always believed that anything under 200 is chaseable. Tonight, we won because we supported ourselves to play aggressive cricket.

With just 40 balls, Aaron Jones amassed an incredible 94 runs without losing, smashing ten sixes in one of his best innings ever. And it took him till his fifth delivery...

Herbig-Haro 46/47: The Webb Space Telescope Captures a Stunning Infrared Image of Actively Forming Stars

  These celebrities have a lot of excess energy to release! A tightly connected pair of dynamically developing stars known as Herbig-Haro 46/47 has been photographed by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope in high-resolution near-infrared light. They can be found in the middle of the red diffraction spikes. Deeply buried, the stars are visible as an orange-white blotch. A disk of gas and dust that surrounds them keeps increasing their mass. Credit goes to NASA, ESA, CSA, Anton M. Koekemoer (STScI), and Joseph DePasquale (STScI). For a pair of stars actively accreting mass, there is a 100% probability of recurrent two-sided jets. Actively forming stars are balls of energy, like kittens. However, stars radiate energy in the form of jets, which instead of being engulfed by the zoomies produce amazing, textured vistas. That is the situation with the Herbig-Haro 46/47 pair of closely circling stars. The most comprehensive image of these stars to date was acquired by NASA's James Webb S...
