Latest news – Person tied up and robbed in his home

For the first time, astronomers have found traces of the first stars that exploded in the universe. The great find is based on chemical remains in extremely distant gas clouds, writes TT.

The stars that formed 13.5 billion years ago contained only hydrogen and helium.

When they exploded as supernovae, the surrounding gas was enriched with heavier elements.

From this enriched gas, later generations of stars were born, which in turn scattered heavier elements around them as they perished.

Thanks to the European Southern Observatory’s (Eso) giant telescope VLT in Chile, astronomers have indirectly succeeded in linking elements to the primordial stars.

The government has plans to ban party lotteries, something that would hit the Social Democrats hard.

Now several former M-tops are attacking the plans.

“I usually shy away from making historical comparisons with periods where authoritarian regimes were dominant or today with countries like Poland, Hungary or Turkey. But what is now being proposed brings to mind regimes that deliberately use government power to weaken and ultimately defeat their political opponents “, writes Ulrica Schenström, today CEO of the think tank Fores, in a Facebook post.

She believes that the aim is to smash the social democrats’ economy.

Even Sven-Otto Littorin, former moderate labor market minister, is critical.

“It’s easy to be blinded by the combi lotteries’ working methods and lack of morals. And some people think it’s fun to slap S in the face. But it’s undeniably a real warning bell when government power is used for such purposes. You should be careful about that.” , he writes on Facebook according to Expressen.
