Cancer Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Two approximately flat, approximately coplanar disks in rim-to-rim contact, mutual rotation axis perpendicular to the disk planes and pointed towards the inner Solar System, each disk 10 to 15 km in diameter, about 45 AUs out, apparent magnitude 26.8 ...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Quote Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy. It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a monster". The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world. Details have been published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters. Prof Heino Falcke, of Radboud University in the Netherlands, who proposed the experiment, told BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87. "What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System," he said. "It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think exists. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe." https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47873592 tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 " O]utside the ordered universe [is] that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes." - H.P.

Badger Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Ehh, probably would see scarier, if someone put a camera in my colon approx. 90 minutes after I have Mexican food. (yeah, I overuse that joke, but, if digestive system reacted as violently as mine in the 3-4 times I have eaten at a Mexican restaurant in the 15 years, you would too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Yeah, just posted abotu that in the "other news" thread here in NGD, and "space news" thread in Star Hero forum.

Cancer Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 The other thing in the news from the last day or two that belongs here is ... "Bubbles" around the black hole at the the center of our Galaxy ... experiments in cramming a hundred stars into the black hole and watching what happens. What?!? You'd do it too, if you could....

Cancer Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Another interstellar object seen, incoming It's on a very hyperbolic orbit (e ~ 3.67), which means it's moving fast, or would be if it got close to the Sun. (Don't get in its way.) This one won't get as close as the orbit of Mars, just over 2 AU out. Call it a practice shot. Logan D.
