Consciousness and collaboration in the astronomy archives of premodern China
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 04, 2025
The astronomical records of imperial China are some of the most comprehensive archives in the history of science, spanning over two millennia, from 221 BC to 1911 AD, and providing detailed insight into phenomena ranging from comets to the rate of rotation of the Earth. A new article in Isis: the Journal of the History of Science Society examines these records and demonstrates the pivotal part t

New measure of the universe's expansion suggests resolution of a conflict
Chicago IL (SPX) Jun 04, 2025
For the past decade, scientists have been trying to get to the bottom of what seemed like a major inconsistency in the universe.
The universe expands over time, but how fast it's expanding seemed to differ depending on whether you looked early in the universe's history or the present day. If true, this would have presented a major problem to the gold-standard model that represents our best

Johns Hopkins study shows how scientists can use black holes as supercolliders
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 04, 2025
As federal funding cuts impact decades of research, scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to expensive facilities searching for dark matter and similarly elusive particles that hold clues to the universe's deepest secrets, a new Johns Hopkins study of supermassive black holes suggests.
The findings could help complement multi-billion-dollar expenses and dec

Huge planet discovered orbiting tiny star puzzles scientists
Paris (AFP) June 4, 2025
Astronomers announced Wednesday they have discovered a massive planet orbiting a tiny star, a bizarre pairing that has stumped scientists.
Most of the stars across the Milky Way are small red dwarfs like TOI-6894, which has only 20 percent the mass of our Sun.
It had not been thought possible that such puny, weak stars could provide the conditions needed to form and host huge planets.
