Over the years, tuition fees at many schools worldwide have increased significantly. Some of them are very expensive, exceeding 60,000 USD per year. For such a large sum of money, students receive small classes, modern facilities, highly qualified teachers, and opportunities to expand their relationships, which contribute to their future
Currently, there are many organizations in the world that specialize in evaluating and assessing educational activities at the regional and international levels, including the British organization Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). Ranking criteria are always one of the top factors that students care about when choosing a school. The QS organization has
Baxter International has provided an encouraging update following the closure of its largest manufacturing facility in North Carolina due to flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. The North Cove facility in Marion, N.C., employs over 2,500 people and is a key producer of intravenous and peritoneal dialysis solutions. Despite the significant flooding,
Archaeologists have uncovered over 300 fascinating stone spheres, known as retrospheres, believed to have been created between 600 and 1500 AD. These spherical objects, found in southern Costa Rica’s Diquís Delta, remain shrouded in mystery, with theories suggesting they could symbolize celestial bodies like the sun and moon. Ranging from
Solar flares are captivating cosmic events with profound implications for space weather, affecting everything from satellites to power grids on Earth. These bursts of electromagnetic radiation vary in intensity and coincide with the Sun’s 11-year solar cycle. While their effects, such as the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis, have been
As vast and empty as space may seem, even the darkest parts of the universe aren’t completely devoid of light. In fact, astronomers have long sought to measure the faint glow known as the Cosmic Optical Background (COB). This light provides key insights into the universe’s energy balance, one of
A black hole in a far-off corner of the universe has been caught spewing enormous jets of energy, spanning a mind-boggling 23 million light-years. For context, that’s 140 times the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy, a distance so vast it could reshape how astronomers understand the universe’s evolution. Named
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have unveiled a remarkable phenomenon in the galaxy cluster Zwicky 8338 (Z8338). They observed two streams of superheated gas crossing paths, an event that may play a key role in the formation of new cosmic structures. Galaxy Tails: Unraveling a Chaotic Cosmic Landscape Within
Astronomers have uncovered an extraordinary cosmic phenomenon: the largest twin jets ever recorded, erupting from a supermassive black hole. These massive jets stretch for an astounding 23 million light-years, far beyond the borders of their host galaxy. To put this into perspective, these jets are approximately 140 times the size
The International Space Station (ISS) is a large space station that was assembled and is maintained in low Earth orbit by a collaboration of five space agencies and their contractors: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (Europe), JAXA (Japan), and CSA (Canada). The ISS is the largest space station ever
Over the years, tuition fees at many schools worldwide have increased significantly. Some of them are very expensive, exceeding 60,000 USD per year. For such a large sum of money, students receive small classes, modern facilities, highly qualified teachers, and opportunities to expand their relationships, which contribute to their future success. Below are the 10 schools with the most expensive tuition fees globally. Top 1. New York University (USA) – 60,438 USD/Year New York University is one of the most
Currently, there are many organizations in the world that specialize in evaluating and assessing educational activities at the regional and international levels, including the British organization Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). Ranking criteria are always one of the top factors that students care about when choosing a school. The QS organization has just announced the results of the world’s leading university rankings – QS World University Rankings in 2024 (QS WUR 2024). Let’s find out with Galaxy Secrets! Top Universities in the
Baxter International has provided an encouraging update following the closure of its largest manufacturing facility in North Carolina due to flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. The North Cove facility in Marion, N.C., employs over 2,500 people and is a key producer of intravenous and peritoneal dialysis solutions. Despite the significant flooding, Baxter has confirmed that no structural damage has been found at the site. Supporting Employees in the Wake of the Flood The company has made it a priority to support
Archaeologists have uncovered over 300 fascinating stone spheres, known as retrospheres, believed to have been created between 600 and 1500 AD. These spherical objects, found in southern Costa Rica’s Diquís Delta, remain shrouded in mystery, with theories suggesting they could symbolize celestial bodies like the sun and moon. Ranging from a few centimeters to over 2 meters in diameter and weighing up to 15 tons, the spheres were meticulously crafted from materials like gabbro, limestone, and sandstone. The stones appear
Solar flares are captivating cosmic events with profound implications for space weather, affecting everything from satellites to power grids on Earth. These bursts of electromagnetic radiation vary in intensity and coincide with the Sun’s 11-year solar cycle. While their effects, such as the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis, have been observed for centuries, scientists have only recently begun to predict and study these events more rigorously. However, many aspects of how flares influence the Sun’s atmosphere remain a mystery. Recent
As vast and empty as space may seem, even the darkest parts of the universe aren’t completely devoid of light. In fact, astronomers have long sought to measure the faint glow known as the Cosmic Optical Background (COB). This light provides key insights into the universe’s energy balance, one of the holy grails of cosmology. Thanks to new data from the New Horizons spacecraft, currently 57 times farther from the Sun than Earth, scientists believe they’ve finally quantified the COB.
A black hole in a far-off corner of the universe has been caught spewing enormous jets of energy, spanning a mind-boggling 23 million light-years. For context, that’s 140 times the diameter of our Milky Way galaxy, a distance so vast it could reshape how astronomers understand the universe’s evolution. Named Porphyrion, after a mythical Greek giant, this jet system has smashed previous records. It’s twice the size of the prior record-holder, also discovered by the same team of international astronomers.
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have unveiled a remarkable phenomenon in the galaxy cluster Zwicky 8338 (Z8338). They observed two streams of superheated gas crossing paths, an event that may play a key role in the formation of new cosmic structures. Galaxy Tails: Unraveling a Chaotic Cosmic Landscape Within Z8338, researchers detected an enormous tail of hot gas stretching more than 1.6 million light-years behind a galaxy moving through the cluster. This tail formed as gas was stripped from
Astronomers have uncovered an extraordinary cosmic phenomenon: the largest twin jets ever recorded, erupting from a supermassive black hole. These massive jets stretch for an astounding 23 million light-years, far beyond the borders of their host galaxy. To put this into perspective, these jets are approximately 140 times the size of our Milky Way when lined up end to end. Their discovery has not only astonished scientists but also prompted new questions about the role such jets may have played
The International Space Station (ISS) is a large space station that was assembled and is maintained in low Earth orbit by a collaboration of five space agencies and their contractors: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (Europe), JAXA (Japan), and CSA (Canada). The ISS is the largest space station ever built. Its primary purpose is to perform microgravity and space environment experiments. This work constitutes one of the cooperative efforts of many space powers in the world in contributing to
