Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have for the first time directly measured the mass of a single, isolated white dwarf — the surviving core of a burned-out, Sun-like star. Researchers found that the white dwarf is 56 percent the mass of our Sun. This agrees with earlier theoretical predictions of the white dwarf’s mass and corroborates current theories of how white dwarfs evolve as the end product of a typical star’s evolution. The unique observation yields insights into theories of the structure and composition of white dwarfs. Until now, previous white dwarf mass measurements have been gleaned from observing…

Several years ago, I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team on a concussion research project. The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little more instruction from the coach than, “on the whistle, hit the man across from you,” grave concern rushed through my mind. Professional sports get the lion’s share of attention, but concussions are a significant medical issue at all levels of play. While roughly 1,700 athletes play professional football each year, over three million children and adolescents in the United States…
Introducing Faith’s family and incorporating cases in which Angie and Will were personally invested elevated this episode. It was my favorite since Will Trent Season 1 Episode 1. Faith’s ex and Jeremy’s dad, Charles, returned on Will Trent Season 1 Episode 6, thinking he was being followed, but his landlords were the victims of a double murder. The series did an exceptional job in how they portrayed Jeremy’s PTSD and the strained, but protective nature Faith had towards her ex. When Charles thought he was being followed, he went straight to Faith’s. While Faith initially blew off his concerns as…
Nicole Scherzinger doesn’t need a red carpet to break out a showstopping ensemble. After celebrities displayed their designer style at Paris Fashion Week, Paris Haute Couture Week, and the Sundance Film Festival, Scherzinger dressed up for a more intimate occasion.

Scherzinger arrived outside Craig’s restaurant in the Jacqueline dress ($2,616) from luxury bridal brand Albina Dyla’s 2022 Puissance collection. The outfit featured a square neckline and lace-up corset detailing along the back. It was covered in thousands of crystals and miniature…

Directed by Jonah Feingold, At Midnight will make its debut on the streaming service (sign-up for Paramount+ here) on Friday, February 10. The upcoming rom-com stars Monica Barbaro, Diego Boneta, and Anders Holm, among others. “In the film, romance seems unlikely for Sophie (Monica Barbaro), an actress reeling from the discovery that her boyfriend and co-star (Anders Holm) is cheating on her, but when she unexpectedly meets ambitious and charming hotel manager Alejandro (Boneta), she is forced to re-think both Hollywood politics and affairs of the heart,”…
Changes in behavior and affect states over time. Duration of time is measured as the ratio of observed behavior to the recorded footage of each occasion. Credit: Journal of Intelligence (2022). DOI: 10.3390/jintelligence10040118 New findings from the University of Houston may reverse some of the prevailing wisdom about the scourge of screen time and digital devices in the hands of young children. The research is the first to focus on a child under three and reveals that while digital technology may bore, distract and confuse them, those are the same emotions that promote creativity and learning. “One possible benefit from…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Wizardom Legends: Temple of the Unknown? Tor Ranseur and his misfit crew of relic hunters were first introduced near the end of my Fall of Wizardoms series. While they only occupied a handful of chapters, I found them fun to write. Their camaraderie, team dynamic, and their constant questing for magical artifacts combine perfectly to create a page-turning and action-packed series. I enjoy writing quest stories anyway, so I found myself compelled to craft a spinoff series featuring this entertaining adventuring squad. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is…

Poor Maggie had to make some tough choices. That’s because her mentor came to town, and something was off about her on FBI Season 5 Episode 13. It was enjoyable to indirectly look back at a younger Maggie through Gwen’s eyes. And didn’t OA eat that up? . It was a very organic way that the reunion was set up. The FBI got sucked in because a dead body was gunned down in some kind of federal economic zone. Someone texted one of the victim’s burners, and surprise, surprise, that someone was Gwen, who regularly used the victim, Cole Dixon, a…
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady started divorce proceedings this year, making this the first Christmas the super model has celebrated since their separation. She and Brady share two children, 13-year-old Benjamin and 10-year-old Vivian, and she decided to take them to her native Brazil for the holidays.

It’s always so good to come back home. Always so…

Mining Metal is a monthly column from Heavy Consequence contributing writers Langdon Hickman and Colin Dempsey. The focus is on noteworthy new music emerging from the non-mainstream metal scene, highlighting releases from small and independent labels — or even releases from unsigned acts. Looking back on 2022, three bands dominated what little coverage metal receives outside its usual carnival. Chat Pile, Undeath, and Dream Unending were everywhere, and rightfully so. Three young bands in three disparate styles dropping bombshells all within a few months of each other doesn’t happen often, and it practically never gets the coverage those three groups earned…
One of the projects that DC Studios’ James Gunn announced while unveiling the first stage of the DC Universe last week was a Swamp Thing movie, which is set to “investigate the dark origins” of the character. Due to this, the upcoming DCU Swamp Thing movie will be much scarier than any of DC’s other projects. Gunn notes that “this is a much more horrific film, but we’ll still have Swamp Thing interact with the other characters.” Safran noted that Swamp Thing will be a prime example of the DC Universe being connected while still varying in tone depending on…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Bear Stalker? After a trip to Montana and seeing a lodge on an island in a lake, I knew one day I would come up with a story to include that lodge. And I had been building up to bringing my main character’s sister back into his life. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write? I enjoy reading mysteries. Not necessarily the same type as mine. I write a police procedural with a Fish and Wildlife officer as the main…
Conversing with a friend just once during the day to catch up, joke around or tell them you’re thinking of them can increase your happiness and lower your stress level by day’s end. These are among the results of a new study co-authored by University of Kansas professor of Communication Studies and friendship expert Jeffrey Hall. “Quality Conversation Can Increase Daily Well-Being” was published in the journal Communication Research by Hall and co-authors Amanda Holmstrom, Natalie Pennington, Evan Perrault and Daniel Totzkay. The study was informed by and provides further support for Hall’s Communicate Bond Belong (CBB) theory of relationships.…
And we got our first Joe kill of the season! Shockingly, it took until YOU Season 4 Episode 3 for Joe to officially murder someone himself. But he hated it the whole time, you guys. He swears! Rest in peace, Vic. Unfortunately, that hasn’t prevented Joe from getting everyone’s attention, including the cops. That cliffhanger is nerve-wracking. We got sex, murder, solid characterization, and a self-aware, vulnerable Joe. It made Eat the Rich the strongest hour of the season thus far. Joe is such a fun character because he makes it far too easy to believe him and buy into…
I ordered it at the end of October; a beautiful navy-blue satin dress with a refined high neckline and pretty puff sleeves. I slipped it on—how flattering! I added sparkly shoes—how glam! Admittedly, I was smug. I’d found the perfect party dress at Marks and Spencer, and knowing how much you all love an M&S find, I was beyond excited to share it with you. By the time I’d taken my obligatory outfit snaps, however, it had all but sold out, save for incredibly low stock levels in a couple of sizes. Fast-forward to December, and the dress has been almost…
