Astronomers recently made an incredible discovery, witnessing the birth of a star for the very first time. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, they observed a planet being devoured by a nearby star. The star, known as HD 142527, is located in the southern constellation Lupus and is surrounded by a large gas and dust disk. As the planet moved closer to the star, it became gravitationally pulled in, releasing a large amount of gas and dust that was quickly consumed by the star.

In a recent study conducted by a team of researchers, it was discovered that bacteria can discard their outer membranes to survive antibiotic treatment. The researchers tested this theory by testing the antibiotic drug ampicillin on two types of bacteria: E. coli and B. subtilis. They found that when exposed to the drug, E. coli bacteria shed their outer membranes and became resistant to the drug. B. subtilis, however, did not shed its membrane and remained susceptible.
