EHT Makes Most realistic-Resolution Dusky Hole Detections But from Earth

Astrophysicists with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration have conducted test observations achieving the highest resolution ever obtained from the surface of the Earth, by detecting light from the centers of distant galaxies at a frequency of around 345 GHz. When combined with existing images of supermassive black holes at the hearts of Messier 87

Murchison Widefield Array Searches for Extragalactic Alien Technosignatures

Astronomers using the Murchison Widefield Array in Western Australia have searched for alien signals at a 10 kHz spectral resolution originating from a population of about 2,800 galaxies toward the Vela supernova remnant. This illustration shows what the activities of a Kardashev Type III civilisation might look like – encapsulating the energy of stars by

Early Galaxies Had been Much less Huge than Previously Opinion

In a paper published today in the Astronomical Journal, astronomers analyzed the evolution of massive galaxies at redshifts of 4-8 selected from the JWST Cosmic Evolution Early Release Survey (CEERS).

Glossy Carnivorous Dinosaur Species Unearthed in Kyrgyzstan

A new genus and species of large theropod dinosaur being named Alpkarakush kyrgyzicus has been discovered in the Middle Jurassic Balabansai Formation in the northern part of the Fergana Depression, Kyrgyzstan. Life reconstruction of Alpkarakush kyrgyzicus. Image credit: Joschua Knüppe. Alpkarakush kyrgyzicus roamed our planet during the Callovian age of the Jurassic period between 165

Physicists Watch Antihyperhydrogen-4 for First Time

Physicists from the STAR Collaboration have observed the antimatter hypernucleus antihyperhydrogen-4 — composed of an antihyperon, an antiproton and two antineutrons — in collisions of atomic nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory. An artistic representation of antihyperhydrogen-4 created in a collision of two gold nuclei. Image credit: Institute

Conception: Clovis Other folks Outdated skool Planted Pikes for Trying of Megaherbivores

Historical and ethnographic sources depict use of portable braced shaft weapons, or pikes, in megafauna hunting and defense during Late Holocene millennia in North and South America, Africa, Eurasia and Southeast Asia. Given the predominance of megafauna in Late Pleistocene North America during the centuries when Clovis points appeared and spread across much of the
