Scientists continue to examine the peculiar behavior of a distant supermassive black hole that is expelling material after devouring a star. Utilizing radio telescopes, researchers observe this phenomenon, highlighting the black hole's exceptional belching habits following the star’s unfortunate proximity.

In paleontological advancements, researchers have developed an AI-driven method to identify dinosaurs from their footprints. By analyzing eight footprint traits, the technology assists in linking tracks to specific dinosaur species, addressing longstanding identification challenges.

On the economic front, Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange led by the Winklevoss brothers, is laying off up to 200 employees as it restructures to focus operations in the U.S. and Singapore. Meanwhile, concerns about national security arise as U.S. senators request a Pentagon review of SpaceX over alleged Chinese investments.
