The JWST has done it again. The powerful space telescope has already revealed the presence of bright galaxies only several hundred million years after the Big Bang. Now, it’s sensed light from a galaxy only 280 million years after the Big Bang, the most distant galaxy ever detected.

Prior to the JWST, we had no infrared telescopes with large enough mirrors to detect light from the early galaxies. The Hubble can see near-infrared light, but only has a 2.4-meter mirror. It found only one galaxy from the Universe’s 500 million years. The Spitzer Space Telescope was a dedicated infrared telescope, but it only had an 85 cm mirror. Not only does the JWST have a much larger mirror, but detector technology has advanced so much that the veil obscuring the early Universe is being lifted one ancient galaxy at a time.

While welcoming the removal of legislation in House Republicans’ budget reconciliation package that would empower U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit it deems supportive of a terrorist organization, rights groups on Monday urged vigilance, warning that GOP lawmakers could slip the contentious provision back into a future draft of the legislation.

Fediverse mods have announced an agreement to adopt English as the preferred language for communications, rather than German, which was another possibility.

As part of the negotiations, mods at lemmy.world conceded that English spelling has some room for improvement and have accepted a five-year phase-in plan. In the first year, “s” will be used instead of the soft “c”. Also, the hard “c” will be replased with “k”. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but komputers will need one less letter.

There will be growing kommunity enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replased by “f”. This will make words like “fotograf” 20 persent shorter.

In the third year, akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible.

Mods will enkourage the removal of double letters, whish have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent “e”'s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps sush as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” by “v”.

I hope you get the care you need.

I do want to point out that every human is a burden to everyone. It’s okay. That’s just how society is. It’s only a problem when assholes don’t want to pitch in to support each other.
