See How A Star Is Formed

The biggest stars in the galaxy take about 100,000 years to form, which is the blink of an eye in astronomical terms. (A smaller star like the sun takes millions of years to form.) So it is rare to find a star more than eight times the mass of the sun (big enough to supernova at the end of its life) while it is still forming, and astronomers led by the University of Cambridge just found one that is more than 30 times the mass of the sun, and still growing.

The forming star, or protostar, is about 11,000 light years away, in a much denser and more volatile region of the galaxy. This is another reason it can be hard to find young massive stars among the 100 billion stars in the Milky Way—they tend to form far away from our calm little galactic neighborhood.

The find represents an exciting opportunity to study one of the most massive stars in the galaxy while it begins its short and violent life. The researchers discovered that the star is forming from the center of a rotating disk of gas and dust, called an accretion disk, just like smaller stars such as the sun. However, the newly discovered star and its surrounding disk are so massive that it is possible that not only planets, but other stars will form within the accretion disk to ultimately orbit the bigger host star—a solar system of smaller solar systems.

Donald Trump Critically In Debt

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has, for most of his life, exaggerated his claimed wealth, and a new investigative report from The New York Times shows Trump awash in massive debt — more than double what he claimed he and his companies owed in the financial report he filed as a requirement for running for the Presidency.

How much debt?  At least more than $2 billion in just one partnership owed to a string of lenders that includes The Bank of China and Goldman Sachs.

The Times reports Trump is part owner of an office building on Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan that has around $950 million in debt and is involved, literally, in hundreds of LLCs and other companies with billions more in massive loans.

Trump claims his personal wealth exceeds $10 billion.  Financial firms like Forbes finds he is worth less than half of that claim and the Times investigation suggests that Trump, for all his bravado and high-living lifestyle, is virtually broke.
