5 things

1️⃣ Rogue worlds: Astronomers have spotted six celestial bodies within a cosmic cloud using the James Webb Space Telescope. The objects are slightly bigger than Jupiter, and the observations are shedding light on how stars and planets form across the universe.

2️⃣ Housing affordability: The housing market is finally showing signs of improvement, but homebuyers aren’t the only ones who have felt the sting. A recent report shows a dire situation for renters, too. Good luck living comfortably in these cities, which are listed as the five most rent-burdened places in America.

3️⃣ Harmless or triggering?: A content creator records while eating piles of food with, of course, copious amounts of sauce. You hear every crunch, slurp and bite. And the video racks up millions of views. As mukbangs grow in popularity, dietitians worry about the trend’s impact.

4️⃣ A true ghost town: It was once thriving with at least 10,000 Greek Orthodox Christians. But for more than a century, this town has stood empty, abandoned by its occupants and haunted by the past. It’s a monument, frozen in time — a physical reminder of darker times in Turkey.

5️⃣ ‘Liquid gold’: Celebrities and influencers are touting a trendy new wellness substance that’s meant for newborn cows. An expert says it’s popular for the potential to boost immunity, improve gut health and enhance athletic performance. But is it right for you?
