"Mysterious Ancient Star Map Unearthed in Italy Could Unlock Astronomical Secrets"
An ancient stone disk discovered in Italy, potentially dating back to between 1800 B.C. and 400 B.C., may represent one of the oldest celestial maps, featuring engravings that align with constellations and a potential failed supernova. Researchers used software to match the chisel marks on the disk to star clusters visible in the ancient sky, with one mark possibly indicating a star that vanished due to a failed supernova, leaving behind a black hole. Further studies are encouraged to confirm this interpretation and understand the disk's use, possibly in agricultural season tracking by the ancient population of the Rupinpiccolo hill fort.
