Some red carpet moments never fade from memory. For Julia Roberts, one unforgettable night came in 1999 at the premiere of Notting Hill. She waved to fans, and the gesture revealed unshaved armpits. The image quickly turned into one of the year’s biggest celebrity scandals. More than two decades later, the conversation looks different. As Parade reported, the old photo recently resurfaced online, and fans now feel she deserved better. Instead of criticism, many expressed regret for how harshly Roberts was treated. For audiences who adored her in Pretty Woman or My Best Friend’s Wedding, it feels like a long-overdue apology.

Julia Roberts became the subject of endless chatter for something that would barely make headlines today. At the time, however, the sight of a Hollywood star attending a major premiere without shaving caused shock.

Many highlighted how beauty standards have shifted, with more women feeling free to skip razors. Just as Madonna or Cher once pushed cultural boundaries, Roberts, without even trying, created a moment that challenged expectations and left its mark.

She explained that the choice wasn’t deliberate. She had assumed the long sleeves of her dress would cover her armpits. Looking back, she laughed about the frenzy and joked that she could create another “scandal” by simply removing her jacket.

Fans admire her for a career filled with unforgettable roles and also for inadvertently showing confidence on her own terms. For many, this moment reinforces Julia as not just a Hollywood favorite but a cultural icon whose influence still resonates.

For nearly a century, cosmologists have relied on a simplified model of the universe that treats matter as uniform particles that don't interact with each other. While this approach helped scientists understand the Big Bang and the expansion of space, it ignores a fundamental reality, that our universe is anything but uniform. Stars cluster into galaxies, matter collapses into black holes, and vast empty voids stretch across space, all constantly interacting through gravity and other forces.

One of the advantages of having so many telescopes watching large parts of the sky is that, if astronomers find something interesting, there are probably images of it from before it was officially discovered sitting in the data archives of other satellites that noone thought to look at. That has certainly been the case for our newest interstellar visitor, 3I/ATLAS, which, though discovered in early July, had been visible on other telescopes as early as May. We previously reported on Vera Rubin’s detection of 3I/ATLAS well before it was officially found, and now a new paper has found the interstellar object in TESS’s data going back to early May - and it looks like it may have been “active” around that time.

When most stars like the Sun die, they don't go out with a bang, they fade away as white dwarf stars, Earth-sized remnants that slowly cool over billions of years. For decades, it was thought these stellar corpses were poor candidates for hosting life because they cool predictably, giving any orbiting planets only brief windows in the "habitable zone" where liquid water could exist. But new research suggests this assumption may be fundamentally wrong.
