SpaceX and xAI are reportedly in merger talks ahead of a potential $1.5 trillion IPO that would be the largest in history. The deal would combine rockets, satellites, and AI under one company. While Musk pitches orbital data centers, the concrete driver may be xAI's $200M Pentagon contract and defense synergies.

X-rays from SLAC's synchrotron reveal star maps in a centuries-old manuscript

Pages from the Codex Climaci Rescriptus palimpsest from the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, were brought to the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource to recover erased astronomical text, especially fragments from Hipparchus' star catalog.

A leaf from the Codex Climaci Rescriptus in the Green Collection.

This image shows:

Upper layer (darker text): Written in Syriac (a dialect of Aramaic), visible as the black script
Under layer (faint, underlying text): The ghostly traces of an earlier text in Christian Palestinian Aramaic (also called Palestinian Syriac), visible as the fainter, brownish text running underneath
Two layers: You can see both texts overlapping, with the undertext running in a different direction or angle from the overtext

About the Codex Climaci Rescriptus:

Undertext (Christian Palestinian Aramaic): Written in the 6th-8th centuries CE
Overtext (Syriac): Written later, around the 8th-9th centuries CE or later
