Astronomers use the James Webb telescope to discover the oldest star cluster in the universe

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers at the University of Toronto have identified the most distant globular clusters ever discovered. They may contain the oldest stars in the universe. The corresponding work was published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

We are talking about the Sparkler galaxy, which is located at a distance of 9 billion light years. In the first detailed James Webb image, the researchers noticed that the galaxy was surrounded by small yellow-red dots. These sparks could be either young clusters actively forming stars or old globular clusters (an ancient cluster of stars tightly bound by gravity and orbiting the galactic center as a satellite), the scientists say.

Scientists analyzed 12 objects, five of them are not only globular clusters, but also one of the oldest star clusters.

There are about 150 globular clusters in the Milky Way galaxy, how and when exactly these dense clusters of stars formed is not entirely clear. Astronomers know that globular clusters can be very old, but measuring their age is incredibly difficult. In the future, researchers will try to determine the age of the discovered stars.

Is everything new – well forgotten old? The latest SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 turns out to be renamed Snapdragon 6 Gen 1

Is everything new well forgotten old The latest SoC

About a week ago, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 single-chip system, and even then we noted that the platform turned out to be strange: it turned out to be slower even than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Now the situation has become a little clearer: Qualcomm went along the beaten path more expensive than MediaTek and simply renamed one SoC to another . To be fair, we note that the matter was not limited to just renaming: the new single-chip system received an increase in CPU frequencies of 150-200 MHz.

The table clearly shows that Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is a slightly overclocked Snapdragon 6 Gen 1: the frequency of the ARM Cortex-A55 cores increased by 150 MHz, the ARM Cortex A78 cores increased by 200 MHz. And that is all. There are no other differences between these single-chip systems: Qualcomm didn’t even change the modem. Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 scores about 30 thousand more points in AnTuTu, but this is precisely due to the increase in frequencies.

Let us remind you that the first serial smartphone based on Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 was Redmi Note 13 Pro.

Hyundai Tucson 2024 appeared on the road for the first

Hyundai cannot be stopped: the company releases new products one after another. The next one should be the updated Tucson crossover. The car is already being tested on public roads in Europe.

The car is tightly wrapped in camouflage – the company does not want to “shine” innovations in the exterior ahead of time. However, we can say that both the front and rear parts will change. At the front, there will likely be new headlights and a new grille design. There may also be some innovations in the design of the front panel. Interestingly, they are testing the Tucson with a trailer, and quite a heavy one, judging by the number of axles.

It is difficult to say whether there will be any innovations in terms of units. Most likely, if any changes occur, they will be minor ones – like new engine control firmware. The current Tuscon is offered with both internal combustion engines and hybrid versions – conventional and plug-in hybrid. All these options will remain in the updated car.
