"These jets literally work like rocket engines. The principle of operation is based on Newton's third law of motion. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When gas escapes from the comet at high speed into space, it pushes the comet's nucleus in the opposite direction. "

"Follow-up observations tied the signal to a second matching hydrogen feature at the same location, fixing the source firmly within the early Universe. ... New spectra did more than repeat the earlier detection, they split Hebe's helium emission into two neighboring pieces. One piece also lined up with the hydrogen line, showing that the object was real rather than an instrument quirk. "

"In 2026 there were 3 days without sunspots so far and so far there have been sunspots on the surface continuously since then, so it's also nice for sun surface observers, certainly good information for the Northern Hemisphere as we see the interaction of the ionosphere with solar wind particles in the form of auroras, similar in the Southern Hemisphere but where it is shifted somewhere behind New Zealand, so nobody benefits from this.

"Newton, observing this, stated that since this is happening, this entire rotation must occur relative to some other constant, some other constant point of reference, because only then could we observe precisely such a movement of water, which, no matter how you look at it, was from his point of view an independent entity from the bucket in which it was located.

"Newton postulated that this void is the theater where everything takes place, and it is constant and the same everywhere, so that phenomena are the same everywhere. And that we can observe Jupiter's moons orbiting their planet. Exactly as Newton's theory dictated. that thanks to Newton's theory we could discover Neptune and so on, all these stories caused them to believe in everything Newton stated and considered correct, including his concept of space and time, namely absolute space and absolute time.

"A team of researchers led by Professor Yi Yang of Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, used observations conducted with ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile to study the supernova cataloged as SN 2024ggi on April 11, 2024, the day after the explosion began. [...] When supernova SN 2024ggi was first detected on April 10, 2024, Professor Yi Yang knew that obtaining high-quality observations very quickly was essential to gathering new information on the explosion of massive stars. [...] He submitted a proposal to ESO within hours and managed to secure the start of observations with the Very Large Telescope (VLT), specifically the FORS 2 (FOcal Reducer and low dispersion Spectrograph) instrument, for the following day, April 11. [...] The only facility in the southern hemisphere capable of capturing the shape of a supernova through such a measurement is the FORS2 instrument installed on the VLT. "
