Star sisters: Around 500 stars born together in Theia 456 are now moving together

Scientists have found that around 500 stars belonging to a stellar stream called Theia 456 that were born at the same time and are now moving together in the same direction. Stars are usually found in clusters that are circular in nature however a stellar stream has stars lined up in a linear way. This relatively linear line, scientists believe are formed when stars that were once tight clusters have been gradually ripped apart and stretched by tidal forces. This new study also found that the Milky Way houses some 8,292 such streams.

Astrophysicists say 468 stars found in the stellar stream Theia 456 in our Milky Way galaxy were born at the same time, about 100 million years ago and are now moving together in the same direction.

Milky Way galaxy houses about 8,292 stellar streams, a new study by astrophysicists has revealed. A stellar stream is a rare linear pattern of stars. The findings of this study also defy the general perception that stars are found only in clusters that are circular.

CANNABIS CULTURE – Dr. John Streicher of the University of Arizona says the DEA’s new regulations offer no help to researchers and he’s not the only one.
“From my point of view it makes no difference at all,” Streicher says under the new rules he will still need to file for a Schedule I license with the DEA, as he did under the old regulations.
Streicher’s research focuses on pain management, often with opioids and requires a Schedule II license. With routine inspections, Streicher can research opioids: codeine, morphine, and oxycodone with little oversight.
The security requirements for storing Schedule I substances in the lab is far higher. Streicher says that isn’t the only difficulty, “It’s the additional burden of all the details.”
Porsche Teases A New Taycan Variant
A new variant of the Taycan could be on the horizon, and it might be cheaper.

On Monday, Porsche’s Facebook page featured a mysterious photo of four Porsche Taycans sitting in a darkened room (above). All four of the cars were in different colors and all displayed their rear badge names in clear lighting - except for one. The caption of the image read: “Welcoming a new addition to the family. Stay tuned.”
As one would expect, speculation surrounding this mystery Taycan has been swift and sustained throughout the last day. We already know that the Taycan Cross Turismo is going to come out soon enough, and spy shots have been taken to confirm that. However, this picture features a Taycan with no distinguishable differences from the basic model.

MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, January 17, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ Globally, happiness is one of our most important goals. Studies show that we value it more than success, knowledge, or material items. And yet, in a world that has continued to progress and become objectively better by most conceivable standards, why do many find this such a difficult goal to reach? As important as happiness is, how much do we know about it and its impacts on individual and global progress?
