On Saturday, January 24, someone will discover that their secret has long been known to everyone. Someone will be advised to become a little old-fashioned. Someone would do better to focus on solving their own problems, and someone shouldn’t pay attention to attacks from those around them. Aries: Today you can allow yourself to act without delay, on the first impulse of the soul. If you hesitate, you will only miss the right moment. Taurus: Today you have every chance to become a star. Those around you will shine with reflected light and will also be pleased, which is rather unusual in such a situation. Gemini: What you considered strictly confidential information will turn out to be an open secret. Don’t make a fool of yourself by turning it into a big mystery. Cancer: All sorts of undertakings should be successful today. Routine tasks will not bring you joy. Leo: Today ears that are ready to listen, understand, nod at the right moment and show boundless sympathy will be highly valued. Beware—they will most likely be yours. Virgo: Today you can allow yourself to be somewhat old-fashioned. It will add to your unique charm and help break the age barrier when interacting with people you barely know. Libra: Today you’d better deal with your own problems, leaving others’ for better times. First the necessary, then the optional. You won’t manage to do everything at once. Scorpio: Today almost everything will go against your expectations, not to mention your desires. But you shouldn’t give up; by evening it may turn out that this is for the best. Sagittarius: Today you will be ready to accomplish feats and move mountains. It would be a crime to waste this surge of energy on trifles. Capricorn: Before buying something you’ve long wanted, try to make some effort to pay no more than what the item is really worth. Aquarius: It’s too late to give up now; what you’ve started should be finished. It may not be a victorious outcome, but at least no one will be able to accuse you of cowardice or disorganization. Pisces: Ignore groundless attacks; unfortunately, you won’t be spared them today. Let them bark—they won’t dare to bite.

Scientists from the Laboratory of Astrochemistry at Ural Federal University have made an important discovery: they found “laughing gas” — nitrous oxide (N2O) — in interstellar ices. The results were published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, and the research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation.

Nitrous oxide was detected in the ices near 16 protostars out of 50 studied. Its abundance ranged from 0.2% to 2.1% relative to CO ice. This is the first reliable confirmation that N2O is indeed present in interstellar ices and occurs there fairly widely.
More than 300 molecules are already known in the gas phase of interstellar clouds, but finding them in ices is much more difficult — until now scientists had been able to confidently identify only eight. Nitrous oxide is now the ninth such molecule. Researchers also reported preliminary signs of another molecule — isocyanic acid (HNCO).
To identify N2O, the team compared James Webb Space Telescope data with laboratory spectra of ice grown on the ISEAge setup. This helped to accurately interpret the observations and confirm the finding.
The discovery is important because nitrous oxide can react more readily at very low temperatures than molecular nitrogen (N2). It can participate in the formation of more complex nitrogen-containing compounds — including those from which amino acids could later form.
Interestingly, half of the protostars with detected N2O are located in the Orion A star-forming region. Scientists suggest that strong ultraviolet radiation in this region may influence the formation of this molecule, but the exact mechanisms remain to be determined.
