This pivotal moment was observed in the Large Magellanic Cloud, not in the Milky Way, marking a first in astronomical imaging.</p><p>In paleontological news, Russian scientists have hailed the discovery of a 32,000-year-old sabre-toothed cat cub in northeastern Russia, remarkably preserved by permafrost. Separately, Elon Musk's Neuralink has earned Canadian approval for a trial of a brain chip device designed to assist paralysed individuals in controlling digital devices through thoughts.</p> <p>(With
