The journey of Professor Sir Andrew Wiles towards solving the Fermat’s Last Theorem began at the age of 10. His early fascination with the problem sparked a lifelong passion in mathematics, despite parting way with the Fermat’s Last Theorem in his early career due to doubts of its solvability. In a pivotal moment in 1986, a new approach to the problem emerged, propelling him into a 7-year of private toil working on this approach, 3 days of lecturing to explain his proof, another year to tackle an error, and 120 pages of explanation to reach the final version of the groundbreaking proof. With one less ounce of faith, this remarkable achievement might never have come to fruition.

🚀 Celebrating the Legacy of Space Astrometry! 🌟 35 years ago today, ESA’s Hipparocos was launched to measure the positions and motions of more than 100,000 stars with accuracies two orders of magnitude better than ground-based observatories. Today, we honor Lennart Lindegren and Michael Perryman, winners of the 2022 Shaw Prize in Astronomy, for their pivotal roles in the Hipparcos and its successor Gaia missions. Their work has provided an unparalleled map of our galaxy, influencing nearly every branch of astronomy.
