Beautiful News Daily - February 28th, 2020 - UK Teen Pregnancies Hit a Record Low (Narrated by Brian) The data is clear: very young parents and their children are more likely to experience social difficulties, health problems, upheaval at school. Better education and services have helped British teenagers avoid unwanted pregnancies. It’s taken time, resources and expertise. But it’s saving money in the long term. And creating a happier generation of young adults. Credits: David McCandless, InformationIsBeautiful.net.

Beautiful News Daily - July 1st, 2020 - #Trashtag Challenge Was a Huge Success (Narrated by Emma) It was inspired by a photo of a young Algerian ecoactivist clearing up his litter-strewn neighbourhood. The idea went viral. From India to Chile, Bahrain to Paraguay, #trashtag people got to work, bagging litter. It sent out a broader message to the world. To think more about the products we buy, the plastic waste we generate, the efforts we make to recycle. Credits: David McCandless, InformationIsBeautiful.net.

Astronomy Picture of the Day - February 5th, 2022 - Symbiotic R Aquarii (Narrated by Emma) Variable star R Aquarii is actually an interacting binary star system, two stars that seem to have a close symbiotic relationship. Centered in this space-based optical/x-ray composite image it lies about 710 light years away. The intriguing system consists of a cool red giant star and hot, dense white dwarf star in mutual orbit around their common center of mass. With binoculars you can watch as R Aquarii steadily changes its brightness over the course of a year or so. The binary system's visible light is dominated by the red giant, itself a Mira-type long period variable star. But material in the cool giant star's extended envelope is pulled by gravity onto the surface of the smaller, denser white dwarf, eventually triggering a thermonuclear explosion, blasting material into space. Astronomers have seen such outbursts over recent decades. Evidence for much older outbursts is seen in these spectacular structures spanning almost a light-year as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope (in red and blue). Data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (in purple) shows the X-ray glow from shock waves created as a jet from the white dwarf strikes surrounding material.
