Summary
Hubble has captured a spiral galaxy being slowly stripped of its ability to form new stars — and astronomers have spotted something even more dramatic: a pair of supermassive black holes in close orbit that could merge within just 100 years, potentially producing gravitational waves we can actually detect. NASA's Fermi telescope may have finally confirmed what powers the universe's most blindingly bright explosions, while paleontologists have unearthed a crocodile relative that walked on two legs and a raptor that hunted like a prehistoric heron. Closer to home, a major clinical trial is shaking up sleep apnea treatment with a once-nightly pill that targets the root cause of airway collapse — and a new brain imaging study is forcing scientists to completely rethink what long COVID is actually doing to the brain.
