Anti-Hijab protest spreads like a wildfire in Iran



The anti-hijab protests in Iran  caused by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, has now spread to over 80 cities in the country.  The protesters have been burning their hijabs and scarves in a bonfire and setting billboards with the image of supreme leaders on fire. There have been clashes between groups of protesters and security forces. An NGO claims that the security forces have already killed more than 50 people. 

On the other hand, different groups in of support of the Iranian government have come out on streets with rallies. These rallies, as per reports, are not being sponsored by the government.    

To curb the social media reach of these protests, the Iranian government has restricted the internet service to the common citizens. While the US is planning to expand range of internet service through tech companies. Elon Musk's Starlink is willing to extend its services to Iranian people.  

Stephane Dujarric, Spokesperson of United Nations has appealed to the Iranian government to refrain itself from using unnecessary and disproportionate forces against anti-government protesters and also to respect rights and freedom of expressions of the citizens and also respect women's rights. 



Mahsa Amini was arrested on September 13 during her visit to the capital city by the police who beat her up to death. She went into coma for three days before passing away. Her killing led to widespread protests in Iran against the government.

Blackhole sounds hellish, while researchers create world's first synthetic embryo

  NASA releases blackhole sound - sounds hellish! Recently, NASA released an audio clip that represents the sound coming from the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster. NASA's website states, "... astronomers discovered that pressure waves sent out by the black hole caused ripples in the cluster’s hot gas that could be translated into a note – one that humans cannot hear some 57 octaves below middle C." It further states, " The popular misconception that there is no sound in space originates with the fact that most of space is essentially a vacuum, providing no medium for sound waves to propagate through." As per their official website, NASA has used a new sonification (the translation of astronomical data into sound)  of Perseus -- the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. What it means is that the signals were  resynthesized into the range of human hearing by scaling them upward by 57 and 58 octaves ab...
