After evolving a digital heart (not the pacemaker kind) out of inky veins, Jamie just wants an excuse to learn something new. But he’s fully aware his 32 years’ experience in the news industry has given him just enough knowledge to be dangerous. International affairs. History. Defence. Science. Space. Technology. He has a fascination for them all – particularly when it comes to social fallout. Translating tough concepts into common terms is his craft. His passion is to explore the big picture encompassing world events.

Space
This image shows the huge galaxy cluster MACS J1149+2223, whose light took over 5 billion years to reach us. The huge mass of the cluster and one of the galaxies within it is bending the light from a supernova behind them and creating four separate images of it. The light has been magnified and distorted due to gravitational lensing and as a result the images are arranged around the elliptical galaxy in a formation known as an Einstein cross. A close-up of the Einstein cross is shown in the inset.

Captured: A twist in space and time

BOOM. Bend. Repeat. The universe doesn’t only have a sense of humour, it’s also a tease. Twists in space and time have given us a four-split view of a supernova. And we’ll get a re-run.
