We Found the Universe’s First Type of Molecule

For decades, astronomers searched the cosmos for what is thought to be the first kind of molecule to have formed after the Big Bang. Now, it has finally been found. The molecule is called helium hydride. It’s made of a combination of hydrogen and helium. Astronomers think the molecule appeared more than 13 billion years ago and was the beginning step in the evolution of the universe. Only a few kinds of atoms existed when the universe was very young. Over time, the universe transformed from a primordial soup of simple molecules to the complex place it is today — filled with a seemingly infinite number of planets, stars and galaxies. Using SOFIA, the world’s largest airborne observatory, scientists detected newly formed helium hydride in a planetary nebula 3,000 light-years away. It was the first ever detection of the molecule in the modern universe. Learn more about the discovery:

Helium hydride is created when hydrogen and helium combine. 

Since the 1970s, scientists thought planetary nebula NGC 7027—a giant cloud of gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus—had the right environment for helium hydride to exist. 

But space telescopes could not pick out its chemical signal from a medley of molecules. 

Enter SOFIA, the world’s largest flying observatory! 

By pointing the aircraft’s 106-inch telescope at the planetary nebula and using a tool that works like a radio receiver to tune in to the “frequency” of helium hydride, similar to tuning a radio to a favorite station…

…the molecule’s chemical signal came through loud and clear, bringing a decades-long search to a happy end.

The discovery serves as proof that helium hydride can, in fact, exist in space. This confirms a key part of our basic understanding of the chemistry of the early universe. SOFIA is a modified Boeing 747SP aircraft that allows astronomers to study the solar system and beyond in ways that are not possible with ground-based telescopes.

Aries: You need to learn to accept things as they are. The glory days may have been golden, but we’re still here. There are still good times to be had. You just need to focus on the now. Focus on what could be.

Taurus: You will find recovery again. You will get better. This darkness has to end at some point, right? The sadness will fade like it always does. There will be better tomorrows, we just have to get through the bad today’s.

Gemini: You’re more than the sum of your past. More than people who made you. More than the people who gave you those scars. You have every right to be angry and hurt. But you also have every right to grow beyond this.

Cancer: The hard memories will pass. The bad times will pass. Things will recover again. Things will level back to normal again. We will find calm. You just have to breath through this. You can survive anything 5 minutes at a time

Leo: Where’s your back bone? Where’s your fire? I need to see that fight in your eyes so I know we can survive this. I need you right now so please. Don’t give up. You are a true warrior my dear.

Virgo: Stop circling backwards. Stop opening up doors to your past every time you get lonely. Stop going back to something that never brought you any good to begin with. Stop returning to the scene of your greatest crime.

Libra: You’re not a dead body stop acting like it. Stop laying there and just letting shit happen around you. Stop just accepting the way things are. You’ve become complacent. Don’t let them take the one thing you always had. Don’t let them take your will.

Scorpio: lay down your weapons. No ones trying to hurt you. Maybe lower your walls a little and let someone else slip in. We just want to take care of you. We just want to make sure you’re good. We’re not the enemy here love. Never were.

Sagittarius: be careful, sometimes reputations are well deserved. Sometimes someone warning of bruises is just trying to avoid you getting hurt. Be careful who you listen to and trust, not everyone is as they seem.

Capricorn: let go of your pride and stubbornness for once. Stop hiding behind excuses and step up. I know it’s scary. I know it’s hard. I know the darkness is swallowing you whole. But it’s time to step up. Time to stand.

Aquarius: You can’t grab on to something new if you keep clinging to your past babe. You keep looking behind you as if there’s some secret to life back there. I promise you you’ve learned every lesson. I’m sorry they aren’t here to still teach you. But you will pull through. Eyes forward

Pisces: are the ghosts to much for you to? It’s okay to admit. You’ve got a lot of skeletons in your closet. A lot of friends and family in graveyards ya know? It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to miss them. We’ll sit in the darkness till you’re okay to come home

What kind of person racks up debts and doesn’t pay them? Your credit score is an attempt to answer this question. These important three-digit numbers summarize our statistical risk for lenders. The allure of the credit score is its clarity: It cuts through appearances and converts our messy lives into an easily readable metric. The difference between a score of 750 and 600 is obvious. One is an excellent bet for a lender to make; the other is not. On balance, credit scores have made borrowing more convenient, and fairer, for consumers.

But the U.S. Department of Homeland Security wants to use credit scores for an entirely different purpose, one they were never built for and are not suited for. The agency charged with safeguarding the nation would like to make immigrants submit their credit scores when applying for legal resident status.

The new rule, contained in a proposal signed by DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, is designed to help immigration officers identify applicants likely to become a “public charge”—that is, a person primarily dependent on government assistance for food, housing, or medical care. According to the proposal, credit scores and other financial records (including credit reports, the comprehensive individual files from which credit scores are generated) would be reviewed to predict an applicant’s chances of “self-sufficiency.” The proposal is open for public comment until Dec. 10.
