Machine learning can help tighten constraints on the overarchingFor almost as long as humans have existed, we have been trying to make sense of the cosmos. What started as philosophical musing has, following the advent of the telescope and the ability to look ever farther into space (and ever earlier in time), become a thriving field of research. Today, scientists seek to understand the properties governing how our universe behaves. These properties are characterized mathematically as so-call...| Astronomy Magazine
Black holes are kind of scary. Think about an invisible pitfall that swallows everything that gets close. Even light, the fastest thing in the universe, can’t escape them! From a scientist’s point of view, however, black holes are kind of cool. Their extreme nature makes them a very interesting thing to study, full of weird antics and head-scratching mysteries. Sitting at a nice and safe distance here on Earth, astronomers have been observing all sorts of weird events related to them, doi...| Astronotes
