Science is no longer what it used to be. Now, although much more research is done, discoveries are less disruptive that in the past Patents serve, in the best of cases, to consolidate something that already existed. yeah I know there are no advances that manage to blow up prior knowledge as happened, for example, with the discovery of the double helix of DNA. This is the forceful premise that defends, with more than a hundred years of data in hand, an analysis posted this wednesday in the scientific magazine 'Nature'. With the publication of this article, the debate is…

Some say that the Magi from the East were, in reality, Babylonian astronomers who were chasing the trace of a mysterious glow in the sky. But what exactly was it they were after?

This question has intrigued experts for decades and, over the years, many theories have been proposed to try to explain it. In the Vatican itself, in fact, there is a…

Smack dab in the center of this Hubble telescope image, between distant stars and even more distant galaxies, lies the newly discovered dwarf galaxy Donatiello II. Donatiello II is one of three newly discovered galaxies so difficult to detect that were not detected by an algorithm designed to search for candidate galaxies in astronomical data. Even the best algorithms have their limitations when it comes to distinguishing very faint galaxies from individual stars and from background noise. myIn the most difficult cases, discoveries must be made the old-fashioned way, that is, by a human being dedicated to trawling the data,…
