Explanation: What dark structures arise within the Pelican Nebula? On the whole, the nebula appears like a bird (a pelican) and is seen toward the constellation of a different bird: Cygnus, a Swan. But inside, the Pelican Nebula is a place lit up by new stars and befouled by dark dust. Smoke-sized dust grains start as simple carbon compounds formed in the cool atmospheres of young stars but are dispersed by stellar winds and explosions. Two impressive Herbig-Haro jets are seen emitted by the star HH 555 on the right, and these jets are helping to destroy the light year-long...

He was in Paradise Valley, which is about 10 miles northwest of Mesa, just on the other side of Scottsdale. And he was campaigning. A high-profile GOP event featuring the party’s titular head could not find a place on the calendar of GOP Mayor John Giles. He was at an event that he found more pressing. “There is a rally in Mesa, Arizona, today, featuring some well-known...

From 2021 to 2022, I worked as a manager in Microsoft’s AI Platform division. I’ve been working in the software industry for over a decade, and while I’ve often encountered some combination of the words “diversity” and “inclusion,” how those words have been translated into culture and policy has varied dramatically over time and between companies. At Microsoft, I became concerned about diversity and inclusion policies that required me to sacrifice what I viewed as the best way to serve the company’s mission, particularly as it affected work prioritization, hiring, and promotions. Large companies like Microsoft have a major impact...

Saudi leaders rejected the White House’s request, “which they viewed as a political gambit by...

Troy Aikman is under fire following a controversial remark uttered on the “Monday Night Football” broadcast of the Chiefs-Raiders game.
