Our lead story today, by Peter Grier and Noah Robertson, looks at the latest indictment in more depth.Whatever the outcome, Americans can eat a bit of humble pie. Trump is deeply divided, with many Americans saying the latest charges – and a previous, civil indictment in New York – are politically driven. His trial is ongoing.In the United States, opinion on Mr. Israel is another example: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced indictment, was voted out, and then returned to office. Some leaders, as in Brazil, have served time in prison for corruption, then been reelected. From France, Israel, and South Korea to Argentina and Brazil, other nations have shown that former leaders can be held to account – even sent to prison – and the country survives.No one is above the law.

Trump leads polls for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 makes his indictment all the more consequential. The implications for the future of American governance could be profound.Still, Americans can take heart in the lessons of other democracies, as the Monitor explained in a magazine cover story last January. president to face federal criminal charges.

By carefully studying the properties of the light given off by the blob shown in this photo, astronomers know that this one glows because it contains bright galaxies. Now, using a powerful telescope called the Very Large Telescope, which is based in a country in South America called Chile, astronomers are a step closer to solving the mystery.


Another idea is that they are glowing because there are bright galaxies inside the blobs. One idea is that they glow when gas heats up as it is pulled in by a blob’s powerful gravity. But what is causing the blobs to glow is a mystery to astronomers. They are also some of the biggest objects in the Universe – these gigantic clouds of gas can be up to a few times bigger than the size of our galaxy, the Milky Way! Like a swarm of glow-worm insects, these blobs shine brightly. These blobs are incredibly rare and very far away in the Universe.
