Why Mountains Make Us Weak in the Knees
How Awe Transforms Us From the Outside In Was there ever a time when humans didn’t pause to admire a flaming sunset or the Milky Way on a clear night? For an experience that feels ancient, awe is, among fields of scientific study, quite young. Psychologists only began paying serious attention to awe in the early 2000s, though theologians and philosophers have explored the subject for centuries.

How Scientists Showed Us the Unseeable
Pulling Back the Curtain on a Black Hole Breakthrough On April 10, 2019 front pages and homepages around the world featured a black-and-orange picture of a blurred ring, dark at the center and bulging slightly at the bottom — the first-ever direct image of a black hole. The picture was the result of an unprecedented scientific collaboration, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), involving more than 300 researchers working on six continents. Now a new feature-length film, Black Holes: The Edge of All We Know, weaves together the story behind the groundbreaking image with other recent developments in black hole science,…
