TL;DR → The Spark Early Orion Nebula capture A few years back, I developed an interest in astrophotography thanks to YouTubers like Nebula Photos. Armed with an OM System OM-5 and a 15-140mm Olympus lens, I managed some decent shots of the Orion Nebula from a tripod by taking 300 pictures with a 2-second exposure time and stacking them in Siril. Knowing I could achieve better results with tracking, I bought a Move Shoot Move tracker for around €200. It delivered longer exposures, but finding

The Mysterious Origins of the Most Energetic Neutrino Ever Detected

wired.com Jorge Garay 2025-11-21 12:00:00

In February 2023, a cosmic particle detector housed deep in the Mediterranean Sea recorded the arrival of a neutrino with approximately 20 to 30 times more energy than any other neutrino documented previously. Labelled KM3-230213A, the particle had a calculated energy of 220 petaelectronvolts (PeV), far greater than the 10 PeV of the previously most energetic neutrino. The finding generated a lot of excitement among physicists, but raised also many questions. Neutrinos are the most abundant par

Ted Chiang: The Secret Third Thing

I really like Ted Chiang’s writing. I think he's probably the best science fiction short story writer alive, and possibly the best short story writer, period. I've read every one of his stories at least twice, and The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate more like seven times. I’ve noticed many of his readers, including some of his most positive reviewers, miss one key point or another of his works, and thus don't fully appreciate his genius.

People looking for precursors to artificial intelligence often point to science fiction by authors like Isaac Asimov or thought experiments like the Turing test. But an equally important, if surprising and less appreciated, forerunner is American psychologist B.F. Skinner’s research with pigeons in the middle of the 20th century. Skinner believed that association—learning, through trial and error, to link an action with a punishment or reward—was the building block of every behavior, not just

A couple of weeks ago, American Eagle launched a new ad campaign for its blue jeans line that featured actress Sydney Sweeney. In one of the ads, Sweeney weirdly broached the topic of genetics (she said, and I quote: “genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue”), but, for the most part, the ads seem to be about how great Sweeney’s posterior looks when she’s wearing the company’s denim. Not long aft
