În adâncurile pământului german, o descoperire neașteptată a ieșit la lumină în 1999, aducând cu ea o poveste veche de aproape patru milenii și o viziune preistorică a cerului. Este vorba despre Discul ceresc de la Nebra, un artefact remarcabil, scos ilegal dintr-un sit religios antic de pe un deal din Saxonia-Anhalt, nu departe de

SN Eos, the earliest Type II supernova in the known universe, was discovered through gravitational lensing, causing the bright blast to appear magnified and repeated in James Webb telescope observations. (Image credit: Coulter et al. / JWST) Scientists have spotted a distant supernova unleashed by a collapsing star just 1 billion years after the birth

În sensul clasic al termenului, atunci când vorbim despre asirienii antici, ne referim, în principal, la ceea ce este cunoscut drept Imperiul Neo-Asirian (sau Imperiul Târziu), care a dominat cel mai vast imperiu cunoscut până la acel moment, aproximativ între anii 900 și 612 î.Hr. Renumit pentru cruzimea sa extremă și pentru un sistem militar

President Donald Trump is taking his boundary-pushing modus operandi on domestic affairs and applying it to the world stage. Be it Venezuela, Iran, or even, potentially, Greenland, the president is showing a new willingness to invade or attack other countries, while running roughshod over long-standing agreements and partnerships, in a way that has put the

I exhale, lowering my neoprene-clad body deeper into the Atlantic for a closer look. The blocks aren’t plastic, of course. They are

Les astronomes classent les galaxies en fonction de leur morphologie . Notre Voie lactée fait partie de celles qu'ils appellent les galaxies spirales. Comme plus de 65 % des galaxies de l'Univers, la Voie lactée présente un bulbe central duquel partent des bras spiraux. C'est dans l'un d'eux que se trouve notre Terre. Mais ce n'est

Researchers at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Grainger College of Engineering have identified the first physical mechanism explaining how magnetic fields slow the movement of carbon atoms through iron. Published in Physical Review Letters, the work sheds new light on how carbon affects the internal grain structure of steel, a key

Eumetsat vient de dévoiler les premières images acquises par le sondeur infrarouge (IRS) à bord du Sondeur 1 de Meteosat troisième génération (MTG-S1), le tout premier satellite européen en orbite géostationnaire à embarquer un sondeur atmosphérique hyperspectral. Cet instrument innovant a la capacité de surveiller les variations de l' atmosphère avant et pendant les phénomènes

You may be chronologically older than your “true age” REUTERS/Toru Hanai When I first started writing about ageing years ago, there was a buzz around something called biological clocks, also known as ageing clocks or “true age” measurements. In principle, these are quite simple: we all have a chronological age, the number of years since
