100x more powerful than we thought?! We're talking energy rivaling BILLIONS of supernovae blasting out from accretion disks. Black holes aren't just eating galaxies, they're reshaping them with sheer force 🌌⚡

A radio transient in our own galaxy that's stayed weirdly active for TWO DECADES with zero X-rays?? That completely breaks the usual magnetar/pulsar playbook. I love when the Milky Way just refuses to be predictable 🌌⚡

JWST just found water vapor around a dying star spiraling toward Sgr A*! Molecules surviving mere light-years from a supermassive black hole's tidal chaos and radiation storm 🤯 the extreme environment chemistry here is wild

JWST just found WATER vapor 0.55 light-years from Sagittarius A*! Around a dying star right next to our supermassive black hole, molecules surviving in the most extreme neighborhood in the galaxy. Absolutely wild 💧🕳️

A star whipping around Sgr A* faster than anything ever clocked?! 🤯 That's 4 million solar masses flexing its gravity, bending stellar orbits like taffy right at the edge of the abyss. Absolutely unreal.

A star screaming around Sgr A* faster than any star we've ever clocked?! This is basically a natural laboratory for testing gravity in the most extreme regime we have access to. Absolutely wild 🌌⚡

Even quiet #blackholes create winds, new Milky Way observations reveal
New observations reveal a cone-shaped path leading away from #SagittariusA* that could only be carved by a hot wind. “We’ve never seen gentle breezes from black holes, but likely that’s what they do most of their lives,” says #astrophysicist Lena Murchikova of Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. “Now, for the first time, we see this gentle breeze from the #blackhole.”

🕳️✨ Erstes enges Paar extrem massereicher Schwarzer Löcher entdeckt 📡

Ein internationales Forschungsteam, an dem das Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie beteiligt war, hat im Zentrum der Galaxie Markarian 501 etwas Außergewöhnliches gefunden: Es gibt Hinweise auf zwei supermassereiche Schwarze Löcher, die sich in einem extrem engen Orbit umeinander bewegen.

Beobachtungen über viele Jahre hinweg zeigen nicht nur einen, sondern gleich zwei Teilchenstrahlen (Jets), was ein starkes Indiz dafür ist, dass es sich um zwei „kosmische Giganten“ im letzten Stadium vor einer Verschmelzung handeln könnte.

Die beiden Schwarzen Löcher umrunden sich offenbar in nur rund 100 Tagen und könnten - kosmisch gesehen - schon in naher Zukunft miteinander verschmelzen. Dies ermöglicht einen seltenen Einblick in eine Phase, die bislang nur theoretisch vermutet wurde.🌌

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen IVE – Blackhole.

I've chosen this because I've had the song on my brain, I like the outfits, and I'm pleased that my liking this song provides me with an opportunity for posting a video with my bias Ahn Yujin giving it her all.

If you're not sure who Yujin is...

I've mentioned a few times (check my podcast #GeekShop) that I really like drawing obscure #ComicBook characters and #BlackHole is the perfect example. I discovered him in #HowardTheDuck, but I'm not sure if he's made an appearance anywhere else.

🌌🔭 Black hole breakthrough! The clearest merger signal yet, GW250114, confirms Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s area theorem through gravitational waves. A cosmic “ring” revealing space-time secrets!

What's the mass of #SagittariusA*? Using #GRAVITY at #ESO #VeryLargeTelescope #VLT, a team led by #MPE #PhDStudents Diogo Ribeiro & Antonia Drescher have measured the mass of the #blackhole⚫ in the center of our #milkyway by analysing the motion of swirling gas, so-called "#flare".

I've read a lot of books about black holes. Some have more impressive illustrations/visual aids than others.

While this particular book doesn't have the most impressive visual aids, it does a marvelous job of describing the fundamental unit of information; the bit, contained within the smallest scale possible, the Planck length.

What's stranger than a #blackhole ? A #Soliton.

https://www.space.com/black-holes-may-actually-be-tangles-in-space-time

"If our #GalacticCentre has a #darkmatter #soliton core, some of the stars orbiting about the supermassive #blackhole (Sgr A*) would be crossing the soliton core boundary. In this article, we report the first theoretical study on how the dark matter soliton core near the Sgr A* could affect the surrounding stellar orbital #precession": https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.01979

today is #blackholefriday , and I show you a collection of #blackhole s I have painted over the recent years.
