In the small fishing village where I grew up, we didn’t have much. But we helped our neighbors, raised our children to respect the sea, and embraced an inclusive scientific methodology with a cross section of sex, race and gender among study participants that enriched the results of our research. In the small fishing village where…
Astronomers from the Stanford University in California have performed joint X-ray and optical observations of a massive “spider” pulsar designated PSR J2215+5135. Results of the observational campaign, presented in a paper published May 22 on the pre-print server arXiv, provide more hints into the nature of this pulsar. Astronomers from the Stanford University in California have…
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has canceled his planned flight around the moon on a SpaceX vehicle because of uncertainty about when it may be possible. Maezawa selected eight traveling companions in 2022 for the mission that was aimed last year, though most space observers considered it overly optimistic. It would have been the first private…
