“We expect that [T Coronae Borealis] will erupt any night now, any month now,” Bradley Schaefer, a Louisiana State University astronomer, said.

Sudden cardiac death: Does long-term antidepressant use affect risk?
Researchers categorized participants by whether or not they had experienced SCD, and by their antidepressant medication use — between 1 and 5 years, or 6 years and longer.
At the study’s conclusion, researchers found that participants who used antidepressants for a period of 1 to 5 years had a 56% increased risk of SCD.
Participants who used antidepressants for 6 or more years had a 2.2 times higher risk for SCD.
“A Stunning Fusion Rocket Takes Shape”: revolutionary propulsion tech promises to slash interplanetary travel time in half, rewriting the future of spaceflight
IN A NUTSHELL 🚀 Pulsar Fusion is developing the Sunbird, a fusion-powered rocket, to significantly reduce interplanetary travel times by 2027. 🔬 The Sunbird uses a Duel Direct Fusion Drive (DDFD) engine, promising unprecedented exhaust speeds and efficiency. 🛰️ The rocket will operate as a space “tugboat,” stationed in orbital satellite docks for missions to
SpotBugs Access Token Theft Identified as Root Cause of GitHub Supply Chain Attack
The SpotBugs maintainer has since confirmed that the PAT that was used as a secret in the workflow was the same access token that was later used to invite “jurkaofavak” to the “spotbugs/spotbugs” repository. The maintainer has also rotated all of their tokens and PATs to revoke and prevent further access by the attackers.
One major unknown in all this is the three-month gap between when the attackers leaked the SpotBugs maintainer’s PAT and when they abused it. It’s suspected that the attackers were keeping an eye out on the projects that were dependent on “tj-actions/changed-files” and waited to strike a high-value target like Coinbase.
“Having invested months of effort and after achieving so much, why did the attackers print the secrets to logs, and in doing so, also reveal their attack?,” Unit 42 researchers pondered.

There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth?
There are an estimated 20 quintillion stars in the observable universe, but sand grains on Earth might outnumber them. Here is some key information for you to watch before deciding to read the whole article. Thanks for visiting us!
Stars vs. Sand: The Numbers Game
The popular saying that there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on Earth’s beaches, famously popularized by Carl Sagan, has always been difficult to grasp. When you consider the vast number of sand grains on just one beach, let alone the entire planet, it seems impossible that stars could outnumber them. However, despite its popularity, this claim might not hold up under scrutiny. Let’s explore this cosmic comparison using rough estimates.
