Where does the ÖVP want to go? “Steering to the left and right at the same time is becoming difficult” – Tirol
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
A week following the “Speech on the Future of the Nation” by Chancellor and ÖVP leader Karl Nehammer and one day following the presentation of the black-blue government in Lower Austria, a closer look at the political itinerary of the People’s Party is necessary. Where is she going? And even more important: Who should be there as a co-driver in the future? Who do you want to take with you in the back? Because one thing is certain: politically, car sharing is the model of the hour or simply the only realistic model. It will not play alone at the wheel – i.e. a one-man government. The question remains, with whom do you want or hope to be able to agree on common travel destinations, which you can then approach and check off with as little argument as possible.

There are stars in miniature format from red dwarfs to the sun-like stars we are familiar with to the oversized blue giants. They can be hundreds of times the size of the sun. A visit is not recommended: there is a lot going on in the area. And yet we owe a lot to the blue giants: the carbon that makes up life or the oxygen that we breathe every moment. Without the blue giants, we probably wouldn’t exist.
But blue giants are not only very rare, they also only exist for a relatively short time: the nuclear fusion inside them only lasts a few million years before blue giants explode as supernovas. And then there is the fact that these huge stars do not usually appear alone, but almost always have a companion star. And if it is also a blue giant, then it will be really exciting!
In this episode of AstroGeo, Franzi tells the story of the most massive stars in the universe: what they look like, why their evolution is so exciting and what we owe them – especially when they appear in pairs. Plus spotting tips on where and how to see blue giants for yourself.
