Investors love to look at what Berkshire Hathaway owns in its public equities portfolio.

Astronomers have, for the first time, detected stellar winds blowing from three main-sequence stars similar to the sun. The observation helped determine the rates at which these stars lose mass via their stellar winds, finding these winds shrink about 67 times as fast as the sun loses mass via its own solar winds. The team […]
