Astronomers discover the largest-ever galaxy thanks to a "stroke of luck"

Experimental cancer treatment leaves two patients 'cured' after 10 years, Study reveals the most complained about tech products around the world. . Feb 19, 2022 [View in browser]( Broaden your horizon! Astronomers discovered a gargantuan radio galaxy that is larger than 100 Milky Ways. It was a stroke of luck that allowed the researchers to spot the galaxy called Alcyoneus which is located roughly 3 billion light-years away from Earth. Well, what about having a look at the YouTuber who built a 3D replica of NASA's cryogenic nano-actuators before we get into this heavy topic? Greetings! I am Mert Erdemir, an editor at IE. This is The Blueprint. Let’s get started! [Video]VIDEO OF THE DAY [A YouTuber built a 3D replica of NASA's cryogenic nano-actuators]( Onboard the Webb space telescope, there are engineering marvels. [A YouTuber built a 3D replica of NASA's cryogenic nano-actuators]( SCIENCE [Astronomers discover the largest-ever galaxy thanks to a “stroke of luck”]( [Image of Alcyoneus.]( Astronomers discovered a gargantuan radio galaxy that stretches a span of 16 million light-years, making it the largest ever observed, [a press statement reveals](. The galaxy, called Alcyoneus after a Gigante (giant) of Greek mythology, is located roughly 3 billion light-years away from Earth. And it was discovered thanks to a "stroke of luck" by an international team of researchers from the U.K, France, and the Netherlands. Larger than 100 Milky Ways. In a study published in [the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics]( the researchers outlined how, using data from the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) network of radio telescopes, they detected two enormous plumes of plasma coming from a supermassive black hole. These two plumes were 16 million light-years long (more than one hundred Milky Ways in length), making them the largest-ever observed structure of galactic origin. Last year, LOFAR was responsible for two world firsts when [it detected warm matter]( emanating from a black hole in a galactic system called Nest200047, and when data from the telescope network were used to create the [most detailed images]( of deep space yet using radio waves.

It leaves only modified cells behind. The treatment, known as CAR T-cell therapy, involves removing T-cells, the cells that fight viruses, from a patient's blood, reprogramming them to attack malignant cells, and then infusing the modified cells back to the body to do the job. [The study tells us]( that this is essentially a "living" drug as it can persist in the body for years, and appears to be capable of mediating complete, long-term remissions. The researchers were able to detect CAR T-cells in the patients' bloodstreams long after their cancers vanished. The findings of the latest trial are encouraging, indicating that the therapy may be helpful in treating some types of cancer in the long run. As research on the treatment progresses, scientists will continue to refine it, validate its efficacy, and hopefully make it available to more patients.

In fact, [there are even reports]( that explain why electronics misfunction so often. To evaluate which are the most malfunctioning electronics, blog Electronics Hub [developed a complaint detection tool]( to analyze tweets mentioning popular tech products. They then proceeded to give each gadget a score according to how many tweets featured a complaint about the specific tech product. The most complained about gaming consoles were the Xbox Series X with a 12.5 percent rating and the Xbox One with a 12.1 percent rating. Electronics Hub did however mention that most of the complaints were actually about not being able to find these products since they were out of stock! Does that count as a positive tweet and not a complaint? And that's not all! [The list goes on to evaluate]( mobile phones, laptops, headphones, wearables, tablets, cameras, and smart home devices.
