Astronomers have made an incredible discovery about one of the brightest stars in the night sky – Betelgeuse. Using a combination of observational methods, they have determined that this red supergiant star is rotating much faster than previously thought. This means that Betelgeuse is spinning around its axis at a rate of 24 kilometers per second, which is about 7 times faster than what was previously expected. The findings, which were published in Nature Astronomy, suggest that Betelgeuse is a much more dynamic star than previously thought, and could have implications for our understanding of its evolution.

As we age, our cells accumulate damage and become less efficient, leading to a decline in our physical and mental health. A new study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine suggests that these “zombie cells” could be the cause of aging. These cells are damaged but remain in the body, and can build up over time, leading to inflammation and other age-related issues. The study found that eliminating these zombie cells could potentially reduce age-related diseases and slow the aging process.
