*Proton Headshot: The Astonishing Survival of Anatoli Bugorski*

In the annals of science, few stories are as incredible as that of Anatoli Bugorski (born in 1942), a Soviet / Russian physicist who survived an extraordinary accident in 1978. While working at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino, Bugorski leaned into a malfunctioning particle accelerator. Unbeknownst to him, the safety mechanisms failed, and a 76 GeV proton beam shot through his head.

Bugorski saw a flash "brighter than a thousand suns" but felt no pain. The beam entered the back of his head and exited through his face, delivering a lethal dose of radiation. His face swelled dramatically, and the skin started peeling away along the beam's path, but remarkably, Bugorski survived. Despite partial facial paralysis and complete deafness in one ear, he continued his work in physics, earning his PhD and becoming a testament to human resilience.

The Soviet Union's secrecy meant Bugorski’s story remained largely unknown for over a decade. His experience remains a unique, though harrowing, chapter in the history of particle physics.

Chinese physicists have reported the discovery of a glueball—a candidate for dark matter particles.

A particle discovered at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider has parameters that match the hypothetical glueball, a particle composed of gluons. Gluons, which bind quarks inside protons and neutrons, can form particles without quarks—glueballs.

Gluons do not have an electric charge and do not interact with electromagnetic radiation, making glueballs invisible and potential candidates for dark matter.

According to an article in Physical Review Letters¹, the particle X(2370) discovered in the experiment matches the expected parameters of a glueball. If the discovery is confirmed, it will be the first experimental evidence of dark matter particles, marking a significant breakthrough in its study.

Hey Space Enthusiasts! 🌌✨

Did you know? Back in 2010, a space telescope named Fermi made an epic discovery that's still baffling scientists today. Imagine two humongous bubbles of gas, each heated to a whopping 9000 degrees, bursting from the middle of our Milky Way galaxy and stretching out into space. These aren't just any bubbles; they're gigantic, each spanning about 25,000 light-years across. To put that into perspective, our entire galaxy is about 106,000 light-years wide!

So, what's the deal with these Fermi Bubbles? That's the million-dollar question. Scientists think they might be related to the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. Perhaps, about 2.5 million years ago, this black hole went through a phase of gobbling up way more stuff than it does now, and some of that matter was ejected out into space, right where we see these bubbles.

But here's the twist - our galaxy isn't the only one sporting these cosmic balloons. Similar structures have been spotted in other galaxies, like Andromeda.

It's a cosmic mystery that's out of this world, and we're here for all the updates. Stay tuned for more space wonders! 🚀🌠

You can learn more about the Fermi Bubbles, active galactic nuclei, and about black holes (including supermassive ones) in our recent video: https://youtu.be/wkEU1tUcYv8

Christmas is already near! 🎄 NASA has published a new image of the Snowflake Cluster, or NGC 2264, which resembles a cosmic Christmas tree with stars instead of Christmas toys. NGC 2264 is a cluster of young stars aged from one to five million years. It is located in our Galaxy, at a distance of about 2500 light-years from Earth.
