Welcome to the Astronomy In Motion blog!
I’m lucky to have been alive to witness the dawn of the Space Age and all that’s come since. I hope to convey to you the excitement I feel about new developments in astronomy. I’ll be sharing interesting links, articles, and videos; clarifying inaccurate reports; reviewing shifts from embedded ideas (like the true color of Neptune), and occasionally indulging in some thoughtful bloviating.
This blog is moderated and dedicated to astronomy and science topics. I expect we’ll engage in respectful and insightful conversations. If you find it tough to tolerate differing opinions, you might enjoy a lighter take on things at Science Humor: https://www.facebook.com/groups/226096020786795.
Let’s dig into some astronomical conumdrums, enigmas, and oddities — together!
There’s a scientific paper that used new supernova studies to shows time occurs more slowly in cosmic voids than in cosmic srings of galaxy superclusters. This makes measuring the expansion of the universe by supernovae variable depending on how many voids distant light has traveled through. I’m trying to find the YouTube video by Sabine Hossenfelder that explains this, or direct links to the paper. I’ll post as soon as I can.
