Netanyahu Condemns Slur Against Rival, Cites Worse Remarks Against Likud

Netanyahu Condemns Slur Against Rival, Cites Worse Remarks Against Likud

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned political commentator Yinon Magal for calling opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot a "monkey," but then criticized Eisenkot for not denouncing alleged insults against Likud voters. Magal's remarks, seen as racist, sparked outrage ahead of the October 27 election, where Eisenkot is Netanyahu's main challenger. Eisenkot dismissed the slur and pointed to Netanyahu as the source of the problem, while polls show Eisenkot's party leading Likud. The controversy highlights the increasingly personal nature of the election campaign.

Technion Researchers Observe Solar Storm Phenomenon in Supermassive Black Hole

Technion researchers have observed magnetic reconnection, the process behind solar storms, in the halo of a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 3783. Using data from XRISM and XMM-Newton telescopes, they identified a signature matching solar flares, indicating energy release from breaking and reforming magnetic field lines. The black hole is 30 million solar masses, and the observed phenomenon is comparable to solar Coronal Mass Ejections. This marks the first direct observational evidence of such an event in an active galactic nucleus.
