MACHU-PICCHU-- - Amazing Examples of Inca and pre-Inca Masonry (Photos)

Best Examples of Inca and pre-Inca masonry

In this article, we bring you some of the best examples of Inca and pre-Inca masonry. I think that we can all agree that the Inca and pre-Inca cultures had incredible construction skills. Proof of their talent are ancient cities such as Puma Punku, Tiahuanaco, Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo. There, we can find huge blocks of stone that were brought to these cities by unknown means, they had the ability to quarry andesite which is one of the most difficult stones to work with even today. Just how ancient mankind achieved all of this …read more […]

Young open cluster Messier 39 investigated in detail

Italian astronomers have performed high-resolution spectroscopic observations of a young open cluster known as Messier 39. Results of the observational campaign, presented in a paper published Dec. 14 on the pre-print server arXiv, yield essential information about the cluster’s chemical composition. …read more […]

New 1.5-billion-pixel image shows Running Chicken Nebula in unprecedented detail

While many holiday traditions involve feasts of turkey, soba noodles, latkes or Pan de Pascua, this year, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is bringing you a holiday chicken. The so-called Running Chicken Nebula, home to young stars in the making, is revealed in spectacular detail in this 1.5-billion-pixel image captured by the VLT Survey Telescope (VST), hosted at ESO’s Paranal site in Chile. …read more […]

Evidence of Ancient Advanced Technology: The Great Pyramid of Giza

ancient-egyptian-mathematics- - Evidence of Ancient Advanced Technology: The Great Pyramid of Giza

Ancient Egyptian History has captured the interest of millions of people around the world. There is something about the land of the Pharaohs that makes it magical and profound at the same time.

The Pyramids of ancient Egypt have been connected since ancient times to deities and gods, to times when the gods themselves walked among mortals. The Great Pyramid of Giza is perhaps one of the most incredible achievements of ancient man, one that our engineers and architects today would have a hard time replicating with the perfection and details the ancient Egyptians did.

Mainstream archeologists believe that Pyramids were built as tombs, eternal resting …read more […]

Why string theory requires extra dimensions

String theory found its origins in an attempt to understand the nascent experiments revealing the strong nuclear force. Eventually another theory, one based on particles called quarks and force carriers called gluons, would supplant it, but in the deep mathematical bones of the young string theory physicists would find curious structures, half-glimpsed ghosts, that would point to something more. Something deeper. …read more […]

How do quark-gluon-plasma fireballs explode into hadrons?

Quark gluon plasma (QGP) is an exciting state of matter that scientists create in a laboratory by colliding two heavy nuclei. These collisions produce a QGP fireball. The fireball expands and cools following the laws of hydrodynamics, which govern how fluids behave in various conditions. Eventually, subatomic particles (protons, pions, and other hadrons, or particles made up of two or more quarks) emerge and are observed and counted by detectors surrounding the collision. …read more […]

Fermi mission creates 14-year time-lapse of the gamma-ray sky

The cosmos comes alive in an all-sky time-lapse movie made from 14 years of data acquired by NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Our sun, occasionally flaring into prominence, serenely traces a path through the sky against the backdrop of high-energy sources within our galaxy and beyond. …read more […]

What have the stars done for humankind?

Professor Roberto Trotta from Imperial College London’s Department of Physics is a theoretical physicist by training and astrophysicist by trade. His work explores how statistics and machine learning can help us turn complex datasets from telescopes on Earth and in space into real-life understanding. …read more […]

Prepping for data from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

As part of a plan to prepare for the quantity and range of data that will be coming in from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, currently scheduled to launch by May 2027, NASA has granted funding to five project infrastructure teams (PITs), which will write software, run simulations, and plot out optimal uses of the telescope’s data stream. …read more […]

Hubble presents a holiday globe of stars

To celebrate the holiday season, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured the galaxy known as UGC 8091, which resembles a sparkling festive snow globe. With a dazzling array of wavelengths of light captured by filters on Hubble’s premier scientific instruments, the millions of stars in this galaxy are being explored in more depth than ever before. …read more […]

Mighty MURI brings the heat to test new longwave infrared radiometer

NASA’s new Multiband Uncooled Radiometer Instrument (MURI) features a novel bolometer that detects infrared radiation without a cryogenic cooler, greatly reducing the cost and complexity of dispatching infrared radiometers into low-Earth orbit. …read more […]

Can Webb find the first stars in the universe?

The universe’s very first stars had an important job. They formed from the primordial elements created by the Big Bang, so they contained no metals. It was up to them to synthesize the first metals and spread them out into the nearby universe. …read more […]
