The bustling operating theatre fell silent. Doctors and nurses stared at each other, stunned. And, as he stood at his wife’s bedside and looked into the eyes of his newborn child for the first time, new father Francis Tshibangu’s joy turned to disbelief. “I was clutching Arlette’s hand as they lifted Daniel from her,” Francis says. “He was covered in blood… but then I saw his skin was white and his hair was blond. My jaw dropped open.” In a million-to-one quirk of nature, Francis and Arlette, who have no white relations, had given birth to a white baby. The…

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared-optimized space observatory that was launched to space back in December 2021. Its primary mission is to study the early universe, including the first stars and galaxies that formed after the Big Bang. Recently, the JWST has reportedly discovered six massive galaxies that are so old they shouldn’t exist. According to NASA, these galaxies are some of the oldest and most distant ever observed, dating back to when the universe was only about 500 million years old. What makes these galaxies so surprising is that they are much larger and more…

NASA verified that the biggest comet ever detected has a diameter of around 85 miles and is now officially the largest comet ever spotted after Hubble Space Telescope studies. C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein (BB) was discovered in 2014 by two astronomers, Pedro Bernardinelli and Gary Bernstein, using Dark Energy Survey archived pictures. BB’s diameter was previously estimated to be between 62 and 124 miles, but NASA has officially verified the comet’s nucleus diameter to be 85 miles wide using the Hubble Space Telescope. According to NASA’s blog, BB has surpassed the previous record-holder comet C/2002 VQ94, which has an approximate nucleus…

Practical applications for quantum entanglement have already been proposed, as entangled particles have been suggest for use in  powerful quantum computers and “impossible” to crack networks. Now, it seems quantum entanglement may be linked to wormholes. Entangled wormholes Theoretical physicists Juan Martín Maldacena at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and Leonard Susskind at Stanford University argue that wormholes are nothing but pairs of black holes entangled together. A proposed mechanism of wormhole generation would be that when a black is born, its pair is simultaneously created as well. Moreover, they conjectured that entangled particles such as electrons and…

A new photo from NASA’s iconic space telescope captures two distant “overlapping” spiral galaxies. The galaxies, called SDSS J115331 and LEDA 2073461, are located more than a billion light-years from Earth. While the new Hubble Space Telescope view suggests the two galactic bodies are merging, it’s just an optical illusion and the galaxies aren’t actually interacting with each other at all, according to a statement(opens in new tab) from the European Space Agency (ESA), which is a partner on the observatory. “Despite appearing to collide in this image, the alignment of the two galaxies is likely just by chance — the two are not actually interacting,”…

Leonardo DiCaprio and his ex-girlfriend Madalina Ghenea partied at the same nightclub in Milan, Italy on Saturday night amid fashion week. The A-list actor, 47, and the Romanian actress and model, 35, were both letting their hair down at Red Room club in the centre of the city, after it was reported he’s trying to ditch his reputation of dating young models.

A middle-aged couple has welcomed triplets into the world after four heartbreaking miscarriages and spending roughly US$15,000 (11,300 pound sterlings) on IVF. Leonie Fitzgerald, a business owner from Brisbane, Australia, became a mom to three perfect girls at the ripe age of 44. She refused to give up hope despite being diagnosed with low progesterone, which led to four devastating miscarriages.

But nothing could have prepared her for the triple pregnancy. The occurrence of twins from uterus didelphys – two wombs – is estimated at one in a million. There have only been four known cases of the condition leading to triplets – and this is believed to be the first in the UK. Mum-of-five Melanie said: ‘When we were told it was quite crazy! ‘But I wouldn’t change it for anything. I noticed a difference being pregnant with the triplets. ‘I would often find myself having to deal with them kicking on both sides. One would kick and it would…

The birth of our universe may have come from a black hole. Most experts agree that the universe started as an infinitely hot and dense point called a singularity. Wait a minute. Isn’t that what people call black holes? It is, in fact, and some physicists say they could be one and the same: The singularity in every black hole might give birth to a baby universe. There’s no reason to think our universe is any different. Curiouser and Curiouser Black holes form when a very massive star dies and its core collapses into a space so small that not even light…

Estimates by astronomers indicate that there could be more than 100 BILLION Earth-like worlds in the Milky Way that could be home to life. Think that’s a big number? According to astronomers, there are roughly 500 billion galaxies in the known universe, which means there are around 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (5×1022) habitable planets. That’s of course if there’s just ONE universe. In fact, just inside our own Milky Way Galaxy experts now believe are some 400 BILLION STARS, but this number may seem small as some astrophysicists believe that stars in our galaxy could figure the TRILLION. This means that the Milky…

On a Hawaiian mountaintop in the summer of 1992, a pair of scientists spotted a pinprick of light inching through the constellation Pisces. That unassuming object — located over a billion kilometers beyond Neptune — would rewrite our understanding of the solar system. Rather than an expanse of emptiness, there was something, a vast collection of things in fact, lurking beyond the orbits of the known planets. The scientists had discovered the Kuiper Belt, a doughnut-shaped swath of frozen objects left over from the formation of the solar system. As researchers learn more about the Kuiper Belt, the origin and…

A woman who was told she’d never have kids has gone on to give birth to four babies in just over a year. Having had two sets of twins, she completely defied the odds of 12,500 to one. Kirsty Hannam, 31, was diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 18 and doctors said it was very unlikely she would be able to have children of her own. But in November 2018 – just three months into their relationship – Kirsty and her partner, Rob O’Hara, 34, a civil enforcement officer, found out they were expecting twins. Kirsty was overjoyed to…

The year 2021 will be remembered as a whirlwind for Eric Portenga and his husband, Kevin O’Neill. Since their marriage in 2016, they’ve been thoroughly researching options for having children. However, having three – all at once – wasn’t necessarily in their plans. Eric and Kevin welcomed identical triplet daughters on September 9, 2021. Their surrogate, Maureen Farris of Akron, Ohio, gave birth to the girls at Cleveland Clinic Akron General. “Just before we got on a video call with Maureen, to be there for the first ultrasound (at six weeks of pregnancy), Eric jokingly said, ‘Imagine it’s twins.’” recalls Kevin.…

A single mother is making headlines for welcoming three little angels within a year — and they’re not triplets. Although she wasn’t expecting to fall pregnant again, she discovered that good things in life really do come in threes. Parenthood is an essential rite of passage. Becoming a parent is an effable sentiment that changes people in the most remarkable ways. Seeing your little ones grow up and become their own person is an immense source of joy for any parent. In the words of Paulo Coelho, “Happiness is something that multiplies when it is divided,” and a single U.S.…
