Watch Video: New image from James Webb Telescope shows star about to become supernovaNASA astronomers recently spotted a burst of radiation that was quickly crowned the “BOAT”: the brightest of all time.The source of the radiation, which NASA said “swept through the solar system” on Oct. 9, 2022, was a gamma-ray burst, the most powerful kind of explosion. NASA said in a news release that the gamma-ray burst triggered spacecraft detectors.

Immigration minister Robert Jenrick said the former Royal Air Force barracks in England will provide “basic and functional accommodation” for up to 3,700 asylum seekers and save the government billions of pounds (dollars) a year housing them in expensive hotels.“Accommodation for migrants should meet their essential living needs and nothing more.
