Dutch post-impressionist painter, transformative figure in Western art
Scientists have captured the Sun’s surface at unprecedented resolution with the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope and other instruments and have identified widespread Kelvin–Helmholtz vortices—500–2,000km spirals of magnetised plasma. The team has linked these instabilities to how magnetic energy cascades to smaller scales and feeds flares and coronal mass ejections that produce space weather.
Jamil Khir has been charged in court, adding his name to a list of senior figures from UMNO-led Barisan Nasional who are facing legal action. His prosecution has raised tensions inside Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s ruling coalition and will intensify scrutiny of political deals and accountability within the alliance.
A South Korean team has linked Van Gogh's Starry Night to a predawn July 22, 1889 sky over Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, suggesting a date later than the traditional June 1889 attribution. The researchers argue the Hyades cluster and Venus align with the moon as seen from Van Gogh’s asylum window, though the museum questions the June date and notes uncertainties in the sky-matching method.
