Infographic on the Hubble tension: There is the direct method of measuring the Hubble constant: H0 = 73.0 ± 1.0 km/s/Mpc. CMB data can be used to know the state of the early Universe and by means of the cosmological model predict what the Hubble constant will be today: H0 = 67.4 ± 0.5 km/s/Mpc.🔭🧪⚛️

As 2024 YR4 Earth impact chances for 2032 plumet, the Lunar possibility is still very much on the table. Current Sentry chances for Earth are 0.28%. Per JPL, the Lunar impact has increased to 1%. While still a very unlikely scenario, it's interesting to consider. JPL blog link in comments. 🔭🧪

As expected the impact probability for 2024 YR4 fell dramatically with the 2/20/25 data: all the way to 0.27%, more than 10 times lower than a couple of days ago.

425 yeras ago, on 17 February 1600, Giordado Bruno was burned at the stake in Rome. We start Section 3.1 of "The Reinvention of Science. Slaying the Dragons of Dogma and Ignorance" with this terrible fact that opened the 17th century. He was charged by the Inquisition for religious heresy. ⚛️🧪🔭

As explained in "The Reinvention of Science", gravitational lenses provide observational evidence for dark matter. If the source is exactly behind a compact spherical lens we get an Einstein ring as the one detected by Euclid around galaxy NGC 6505. Credit: ESA ⚛️🧪🔭 ➡️ www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

Are humans the only species that communicates when a collaborator is missing information? In @pnas.org, Luke Townrow and I show that our closest relatives, bonobos, can track when a partner is knowledgeable or ignorant, and tailor communication accordingly www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The Star of Bethlehem was not Halley's Comet, which Giotto observed in 1301 and depicted as such in the fresco of the Adoration of the Magi in the Cappella degli Scrovegni in Padua. It was perhaps a nova observed by Chinese and Korean astronomers in February 5 BCE (probable date of the Nativity)☄️ 🧪🔭
