Artist’s impression of the hottest and most massive touching Double Star

This animated artist’s impression shows VFTS 352 - the hottest and most massive double star system to date where the two components are in contact and sharing material. The two stars in this extreme system lie about 160 000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This intriguing pair could be heading for a dramatic end, either with the creation of a single monster star or the formation of a binary black hole.

Two feminist geniuses are saving thousands of newborns

The developing world sees as many as 99% of newborn and maternal deaths worldwide. Baby Hero, a company which sells baby products, is trying to lower the odds: For every product sold, they send a neonatal survival kit, compact enough to fit in a ziplock bag, to poor mothers in need. Their plan takes Toms Shoes and Warby Parker a step further.

I watched this week the last episode of Revolution (2012-2014). The premise is an interesting variation on the post-apocalyptic genre. That could have been more, maybe, with more development about the different societies of this world, instead of focusing on fights (particularly for the second season).  Still, that was an entertaining adventure series, with a good cast.

There is a free digital comics, written with the collaboration of the creative team of Revolution  that takes place after the last episode and is a proper finale for the series. The links for the four chapters are on the page. Worth reading if you watched the two seasons.
