Yeah. voice-verified

So that's Daming Yang. voice-verified

He's the first author of the study out this week in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, which reports the discovery of 31 quasars. voice-verified

And these are among the oldest quasars ever found. voice-verified

And before this study, astronomers only knew a handful of quasars this old. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

So these quasars are from like soon after the Big Bang. voice-verified

They're much bigger and brighter than astronomers would expect them to be that early in the universe. voice-verified

So Daming says there's a lot of questions about how they got so big so fast. voice-verified

Yeah, and a new study out this week in the journal PLOS One is not going to soothe any of that hate some people feel about this predator. voice-verified

Yeah, and researchers at UC Davis did a DNA analysis of the scat, you know, their poop, from two wolf packs in 2022 and 2023 to see what they were eating. voice-verified

That's reasonable to think, but it's uncommon for livestock to be the primary food for these wolves. voice-verified

So Tina Saitone, the study's lead author, says in most states, wolves predominantly eat wild game. voice-verified

Yeah, that's right. voice-verified

So Neil Carter, who studies wolves at the University of Michigan, says this study, which he wasn't involved with, underscores how complicated it is for carnivores to come back to places that have fundamentally changed. voice-verified

Scott, I hope you enjoyed this, you know, not space segment, but, you know, news segment. voice-verified

And a little bit of space. voice-verified

Just enough. voice-verified
