17 straight years

For 17 straight years, since the early days of “Six Feet Under” and “The Sopranos,” HBO garnered the most Emmy nominations of any network. Netflix, the former DVD delivery company, broke that streak yesterday with 112 nominations, driven by “The Crown,” “Godless” and “Stranger Things.” HBO was second with 108, thanks in large part to “Game of Thrones.” [The Hollywood Reporter]

More than 1,000 researchers

Four billion years after a distant black hole erupted a “powerful jet of radiation” containing tiny and elusive neutrinos, aka “ghost particles,” sensors at the South Pole detected one of these particles. The paper describing the discovery, in the journal Science, was authored by more than 1,000 researchers. The work ushers in “a new era of astronomy,” per the Post — one in which scientists can use neutrinos and ordinary light to learn about our universe. [The Washington Post]
