New South Wales beaches were swamped by a ‘bloom’ of blue flies swept by northeast winds in 2021, causing the bites of large numbers of bathers. Dozens of blueflies also washed …

Some of the synthetic images produced by the researchers show the hotspots spinning as an observer spins around the black hole’s spin axis. Credit: Crinquand et al Black holes, regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are among the most fascinating and studied cosmic phenomena. Although there are now countless …

A “planet killer” asteroid lurking in the sun’s glare has finally been detected, and the giant space rock could one day crash into Earth. The ‘potentially dangerous’ 0.9-mile-wide (1.5 kilometer) asteroid, named 2022 AP7, is one of many large space rocks that astronomers have recently discovered near the orbits of Earth and Venus. Currently, 2022 …
