  Hubble Space Telescope and James...

  By the time the Hubble telescope reached orbit, it was already the world’s most famous telescope, but it was also the most scorned. The telescope cost nearly $2 billion more to complete than anticipated, and to make matters worse, the first images it sent back were skewed. However, within about a year of fixing it, the telescope captured images of a major event in the solar system. In July 1994, the telescope provided a firsthand observation of a comet, Shoemaker-Levy 9, breaking apart and slamming into Jupiter. The comet broke into about two dozen pieces, some of them more than a mile wide, and hit the giant planet with the force of millions of atomic bombs.In addition to capturing the streaking comet breaking up and colliding with Jupiter, the telescope captured images of the impact marks that were left on Jupiter’s surface, helping astronomers study Jupiter’s atmosphere and debris left by major impacts. 
  The increase in excitement was palpable. Scientists had viewed much of the universe through Hubble, almost as it was when it was formed, but they learned that none of these galaxies were the first ones formed. Then ultimately realized that “Hubble wasn’t the right instrument to detect those first galaxies.” “The farther we can see in space, the farther we can see in time…and that’s not a metaphor. That’s actually literally true,” explained scientist Amber Straughn. The Webb Space Telescope represents “looking in a part of space that we’ve never seen before.” The telescope will be able to detect the earliest galaxies because of its unparalleled sensitivity. Another factor is the kind of light it will collect, “light that our eyes aren’t designed to see.”

  In Beyond the Tired: Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, readers will discover a compassionate, thorough exploration of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)—a condition that has left millions feeling exhausted, misunderstood, and often invisible. This comprehensive book delves into the unique challenges faced by those with CFS/ME, blending scientific insights with real-life stories to shed light on one of the most complex and underdiagnosed health conditions in the modern world. 
  Unlike ordinary fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome impacts nearly every aspect of life, causing overwhelming physical and mental exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest. This book explains how CFS manifests and why it's more than just feeling tired. It examines the primary symptoms, from post-exertional malaise to "brain fog," muscle and joint pain, and the severe impacts on the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems. With sensitivity and clarity, Beyond the Tired gives readers an accessible yet detailed understanding of the symptoms, allowing loved ones and those unfamiliar with the illness to gain valuable insight into the day-to-day experience of CFS/ME sufferers. 
  Whether you're a patient, a loved one, or a healthcare professional, Beyond the Tired is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to better understand chronic fatigue syndrome. This book aims to demystify CFS, bridging the gap between medical science and the lived experience of patients. Through a balanced approach that combines science with empathy, Beyond the Tired ultimately seeks to bring awareness, validation, and hope to everyone touched by this often invisible illness.

  Dark space, a term that captures the vast and mysterious regions of the universe that remain elusive to the human eye, is one of the most fascinating and perplexing subjects in modern astronomy and physics. It refers to the areas of space that are largely empty or seem devoid of matter, yet are crucial to our understanding of the cosmos. Unlike the stars, planets, and galaxies that illuminate the night sky, dark space is often invisible to our telescopes and our senses. This absence of light and matter doesn’t mean that dark space is inactive or devoid of interest. On the contrary, dark space is full of hidden forces and phenomena that scientists are only beginning to understand. It holds the secrets to some of the most fundamental questions about the universe's structure, its origins, and its ultimate fate. 
  The origins of dark space can be traced back to the very beginning of the universe. When the Big Bang occurred, it led to the creation of matter and energy. However, the universe didn’t begin with the stars and galaxies that we are familiar with today. Instead, it started as a hot, dense point that rapidly expanded. As the universe cooled, matter began to condense and form structures, such as galaxies, but there was also a significant amount of empty space that remained. This space, often referred to as "dark" because it contains little to no visible matter, is not empty in the sense that it is void of energy. Instead, it is filled with forces and substances that we cannot see directly. 
  One of the key aspects of dark space is the presence of dark matter, a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe’s total mass. Although dark matter cannot be directly observed, its presence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter.
