Student astronomer discovers rare white dwarf star feeding on a red dwarf companion

Student astronomer discovers rare white dwarf star feeding on a red dwarf companion

Published by Jenni Sidey

ASKAP J1745-5051 did not look like an easy answer to anything. It flashed radio waves every 1.4 hours, then went quiet for stretches. Then it lit up again with a pattern astronomers had trouble classifying. That odd behavior has now helped pin down one of astronomy’s stranger new mysteries. In a study published in Nature Astronomy, an international team reports that ASKAP J1745-5051 is a compact binary system. In this system, a white dwarf is pulling material from a low-mass red dwarf companion. The finding offers some of the strongest evidence yet that at least some long-period radio transients come from white dwarf binaries. Previously, many had suspected they came from slowly spinning neutron stars. The system was first spotted in an untargeted search for circularly polarized radio sources with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder, or ASKAP. Additionally, follow-up observations with MeerKAT sharpened its position. Astronomers matched it to a faint optical source in Gaia data. What they found next changed the story. Artist’s impression of the white dwarf binary ASKAP J1745-5051. The smaller, …

12 Men Reveal The One White Lie They Still Feel Guilty About Telling Their Wives

12 Men Reveal The One White Lie They Still Feel Guilty About Telling Their Wives

Published by Jenni Sidey

Can we all admit that, no matter how honest some of us are, we are all guilty, at one point or another, of resorting to white lies? Tiny fibs save our loved ones’ feelings, save ourselves time and face, and often get us out of a lot more trouble than necessary. We exchange white lies in every relationship we encounter, from saying “I’m fine!” when a stranger asks how we’re doing to smiling and nodding when a child asks us if we still believe in Santa. Marriage is no different. We asked husbands to confess the white lie they still feel guilty about telling their partner. Men reveal the one white lie they still feel guilty about telling their wives: 1. ‘I love her ankle tattoo she has that supposedly matches one on her ex’ “She’s had it for 15 years, but every time I look at it, I feel like she’s been branded.” 2. ‘I like this current haircut of hers’ “I hate it, but she loves it, so there’s no reason to say …

White House Correspondents Dinner Re-Do Set for July After Shooting

Published by Daniella Wilson

A redo of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is set for next month, WHCA president Weijia Jiang told members Tuesday, with “significantly enhanced security” after April’s dinner was cut short when a shooter entered the Washington Hilton, forcing an evacuation of the event. The dinner will be held July 24, with the venue and programming still TBD. Read Jiang’s note, below. Dear colleagues,  The White House Correspondents’ Dinner has served as a celebration of a free press and the vital role of journalism in our democracy for over a century. When gunfire interrupted this year’s event, it further clarified the WHCA’s mission to advocate for the freedoms that are protected in the First Amendment. We will not allow an act of violence to have the last word, especially during a year when we are reflecting on the 250th anniversary of America and everything we stand for.  I am proud to announce that we will host another dinner to be held in Washington, D.C. on Friday, July 24th.  Rescheduling was not automatic. It was a choice …

Farage Blamed For Linking Anti White Prejudice To Henry Nowaks Death

Farage Blamed For Linking Anti White Prejudice To Henry Nowaks Death

Published by Sam Flores

Nigel Farage has been accused of using the tragedy of Henry Nowak’s murder for “political point scoring” by his online critics. The Reform UK leader broadcast an “emergency” address on Tuesday morning, a day after the 18-year-old’s killer, Vickrum Digwa, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years. Henry was arrested by police officers after being stabbed four times by Digwa, who falsely claimed he had been racially abused. Harrowing bodycam footage shows Henry repeatedly saying “I can’t breathe” as he is handcuffed at the scene. After telling the officers he had been stabbed, one of them replies: “I don’t think you have, mate.” The dead man’s family has called for a “transparent investigation” into the “inhumane” treatment of their son. Outside court on Monday, Henry’s father, Mark, said: “We do not want Henry’s murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension.” Despite that, Farage said the case is evidence of “two-tier Britain” and proved that “an accusation of racial slur [is taken] more seriously than an act of …

Nigel Farage delivers his statement on what he called the UK’s two-tier culture (Image: Getty) Raging Nigel Farage warned the “rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities” as anger erupted over the police handling of the Henry Nowak murder. The Reform UK leader said victim Mr Nowak was “actually treated in a way that meant an accusation of a racial slur was treated more seriously than an act of murder”. Vickrum Digwa, 23, was jailed for life, with a minimum of 21 years, for stabbing Henry, 18, with a ceremonial knife. And Digwa claimed he had been a victim of racist abuse. Police bodycam footage showed officers handcuffing Mr Nowak and ignorning claims he had been stabbed, with one even telling him “I don’t think you have mate”. The Reform UK leader said: “What does he say? I can’t breathe. “Familiar words. Remember career criminal George Floyd, who died in appalling circumstances in Midwest America a few years ago. “Remember the reaction to that and the way the police …

The White House Is the New Green Zone

The White House Is the New Green Zone

Published by Daniella Wilson

Across from the White House sits a museum called The People’s House: A White House Experience. Inside is a replica of the Oval Office, and interactive exhibits on what it’s like to attend a State Dinner or sit in on a Cabinet meeting. It’s about as close to the White House as you can get without actually being there, a wholesome reminder of how democracy is supposed to work. But early last Saturday evening, two bullets shattered the glass between displays of Christmas ornaments and dining plates. A 21-year-old gunman had opened fire on Secret Service agents who then returned fire, killing him. It was the latest reminder of how our democracy is actually working, how omnipresent political violence can feel, how inaccessible public buildings are becoming to the public. Three times in four weeks, gunfire has broken out as federal agents were protecting the president and vice president in the vicinity of the White House. Three months ago, a man was shot and killed after entering the Mar-a-Lago security perimeter with a shotgun and …

President Donald Trump has unveiled a mock-up image of a “drone port” set to be installed atop the White House ballroom roof. Trump has pledged that his prized ballroom will accommodate the port as part of numerous military applications for the new structure. While addressing reporters last week, the president declared, “On top of the roof, we’re going to have the greatest drone empire you’ve ever seen. “The entire roof is developed for military,” Trump continued. “Not only is it drone-proof – if a drone hits it, it bounces off, it won’t have any impact – but it’s also meant as a drone port so it protects all of Washington.” Trump outlined that the new building’s elevation provides a “very clear view of everything all over Washington,” noting it will additionally house a military hospital and research facility. “The ballroom is really a shield, protecting all of the things that are built here,” he stated. Trump abruptly and controversially razed the historic East Wing of the White House in October 2025 to clear space for …
