“The ancient Maya were arguably one of the greatest sky-watching societies. Accomplished mathematicians, they recorded systematic observations on the motion of the Sun, planets and stars,” Kimberly H. Breuer writes.
“On April 8, eyes across the U.S. will turn upward to catch a glimpse of the eclipsed Sun,” Vahe Peroomian writes. “Thanks to the vigilance of electric grid operators, the lights should stay on, and observers won’t have to worry about anything but the stunning show in the sky.”
“NASA’s independent study team released its highly anticipated report on UFOs on Sept. 14, 2023,” Chris Impey writes. “Bottom line: The study team found no evidence that reported UAP observations are extraterrestrial.”
“The James Webb Space Telescope team has released the first science-quality images from the new telescope. In them are the oldest galaxies ever seen by human eyes, evidence of water on a planet 1,000 light-years away and incredible details showing the birth and death of stars,” Professor of Astronomy Silas Laycock writes. “Webb’s purpose is to explore origins—of the universe, of galaxies, of stars and of life—and the five images released on July 12, 2022, make good on that promise.”
