Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are finding that planets have a tough time forming in the rough-and-tumble central region of the massive, crowded star cluster Westerlund 2. Located 20,000 light-years away, Westerlund 2 is a unique laboratory to study stellar evolutionary processes because it's relatively nearby, quite young, and contains a large stellar population.

Poor indoor ventilation may increase coronavirus spread: Study
According to the researchers, expiratory droplets from people who have coughed or sneezed contain water, salts, and other organic material, along with the virus itself. As the water content from the droplets evaporate, the microscopic matter becomes small and light enough to stay suspended in the air and over time, the concentration of the virus can build up, increasing the risk of infection.
