On July 3, 2023, a rare celestial event will take place: for the first time in nearly a century, a type of binary star system known as an eclipsing cataclysmic variable (CVs) will be visible with the naked eye. CVs are binary star systems composed of a white dwarf star and a companion star, which orbits the white dwarf. During the eclipse, the companion star passes in front of the white dwarf, temporarily obscuring the white dwarf’s light and causing the star system to appear much dimmer.

In a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), the emergence of safety science as a distinct discipline was highlighted. This new field is one that integrates the traditional engineering and science disciplines to create a framework to evaluate and reduce risks associated with the development and operation of complex systems. Safety science has been described as a way of thinking holistically about the safety of systems, rather than relying on a single discipline to address specific risks.

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious planet that simply shouldn’t exist. The alien world, dubbed NGTS-4b, is a “hot Jupiter” – a gas giant planet that orbits extremely close to its host star. But what makes NGTS-4b so perplexing is its size; it’s the smallest hot Jupiter ever discovered, about the size of Jupiter but with a mass only one-third that of the Solar System’s largest planet. This has left astronomers scratching their heads, as the planet’s mass should be much larger than it is.
