A bug in Google News stops fresh news from showing up in the stream.

You can't access Google News to view fresh content from your favourite websites and publishers. It's Google, not you.

One of the finest news aggregation applications is without a doubt Google News, however a recent glitch seems to be restricting stories from your favourite websites and newspapers.

All websites are now experiencing an ongoing difficulty that prevents them from being correctly indexed, according to Google's Search Status Dashboard, a portal that gives information on services that are part of Google Search. This appears to be preventing many people from viewing fresh content from their favourite websites and magazines and decreasing traffic for numerous businesses.

Many publications may experience a significant decline in traffic until the flaw is rectified because Google News is a major traffic referrer for websites on the internet. Google acknowledged the problem yesterday, although according to the Search Status Dashboard, it may have originated on June 21.

Many users report being unable to access Meta's Facebook, Instagram, or Whatsapp.

 Up to 13,000 people complained about difficulties accessing Instagram.

On Monday, Downdetector.com claimed that thousands of American users across the social media platforms Instagram, Facebook, and messaging app WhatsApp suffered outages.

Up to 13,000 people reported having trouble using Instagram, while Facebook and WhatsApp had outages for 5,400 and 1,870 users, respectively.

By combining status information from many sources, including user-submitted problems on its platform, Downdetector keeps track of outages. More people could have been impacted by the outage.

Keep an eye out for: Chandrayaan 3, supersonic travel, and supermassive black holes

Watch this Space: Discover the most significant advancements in space during the previous week.

Unbeknownst to many of us, the Earth reached its furthest distance from the Sun this week. Our globe had its warmest day ever that same week. These two seemingly illogical occurrences are only the tip of the iceberg in terms of recent space-related advances. This and other topics are covered in "Watch this space," our weekly collection of space news.

From the Sun's and the aphelion's distance

Aphelion, which this year occurred on July 6, refers to the point in Earth's orbit when it is farthest from the Sun. This occurs as a result of the slightly elliptical orbit it travels on. But shouldn't it be growing colder instead of warmer if the Earth were as far away from the Sun as is possible?

Ten aspects of Twitter that Meta's Threads still lack

Threads still need to catch up with Twitter, and here are ten such features that are only available on Twitter.

With over 100 million sign-ups in only a few days, Mark Zuckerberg's newest microblogging site Threads has completely taken over the internet. Threads, which was created and developed by the Instagram team, offers a unique yet recognisable user experience that mimics Twitter.

Touted as the Twitter alternative, Threads has many features similar to Elon Musk’s latest acquisition. However, being a brand-new platform, it does miss out on several key aspects when compared to its rival Twitter, perhaps the most popular microblogging platform in the world.

Describe Threads. The Twitter clone created by Meta that Elon Musk may face serious problems

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, is once again doing what he does best: building social networks that inspire participation and dialogue. Within a few hours of its global launch, Threads, Meta's microblogging network designed to capitalise on Twitter's self-inflicted problems, had racked up more than 30 million sign-ups. This gives Threads some credence as a real Twitter substitute. It remains to be seen if this uptick will sustain over time and succeed in luring users and interaction away from Elon Musk's Twitter. A lot will rely on how Meta handles user privacy and safety on this new mobile-only service. However, the support for Threads does highlight the necessity for a neutral, secure environment where ideas may be discussed without restraints.

Most distant active supermassive black hole discovered by Webb telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope has aided researchers in their discovery of the most remote active supermassive black hole.

Supermassive black holes are dreadful cosmic objects that use their gravitational pull to hold whole galaxies together while engulfing and destroying anything that approaches too closely. Therefore, it could be advantageous that the one discovered by the James Webb Telescope is the most distant one discovered thus far.

Supermassive black holes are fearsome cosmic objects that hold entire galaxies together with their strength, drawing in and destroying everything that approaches too closely. So perhaps it is fortunate that the one discovered by the James Webb Telescope is the furthest one discovered thus far.

Although CEERS 1019 is quite ancient, that is not what makes it special. In galactic terms, it is quite light. It is considerably smaller than other black holes that were also present in the early universe and discovered by telescopes, weighing only at about 9 million solar masses.
