The New Largest Star in the Universe 2024 On a clear, moonless night, above our heads, we can observe thousands of glistening stars. But that's just what we can see with the unaided eye. Observe the galaxy with powerful telescopes, and billions more are revealed. In fact, the Milky Way galaxy alone is estimated to have between 100 to 400 billion stars. And looking even further to our neighboring galaxies and beyond, there are unaccountable amounts more.
The balancing act of oil and clean energy investment
Last year, both the United States and Canada have increased their oil and gas production, reaching record targets and profits. In fact, in December 2023, the U.S. became the largest oil producer globally, with 13.5 million barrels of oil produced per day (BPD). In early 2024, Canada produced 4.9 million barrels per day, becoming the fourth-largest oil producer behind the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Russia. Both countries are expected to hit new records in 2024, with 14 million bpd and 5.4 million bpd, respectively.

MD ALEXENDERPublished about a month ago in EarthWhy the 2024 Solar Eclipse is Such a Big Deal
The 2024 solar eclipse is highly anticipated due to its remarkable cosmic alignment, involving the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Despite the vast disparity in size between the Sun and Moon, a fortuitous celestial coincidence allows them to appear almost identical in size from Earth's perspective. As a result, when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth, it creates a solar eclipse, an awe-inspiring event that captivates observers worldwide.

The Birth of Europe's Youngest Volcano
When we think of active volcanoes, one region comes to mind: the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. Thirty-four percent of the Earth's volcanoes sit within this belt. Compare this area to Australia, which doesn't have any volcanic activity. The old continent of Europe is also calm, or at least we like to think so.

The volcano has erupted about 200 times and has been far from sleeping in recent decades. The last time this happened was in August 2023.
