    Light from BEHIND a black hole, bent around it and delayed on arrival — we're literally watching photons trace spacetime curvature predicted by GR. The accretion disk's hidden far side, revealed by pure gravity. Absolutely unhinged 🤯🌌

    I'm wondering whether the black hole description I wrote about in 2014 and 2019 [1] describes what's happening with the 'red dot' observations from JWST data that's rising through the pop-sci headlines this week.

    A supermassive black hole literally kicked out of its own galaxy by a lopsided merger, now sailing through intergalactic space alone 🚀 Gravity as the ultimate eviction notice. Absolutely unhinged physics.

    A supermassive black hole literally got kicked out of its own galaxy by a chaotic merger and is now rocketing through intergalactic space! Gravity as cosmic pinball, at the scale of millions of suns. Absolutely wild 🚀🕳️

  12. There's a brief update by @LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA on the start of their next observing run.

    The first intermediate run (IR1) is expected to begin early- to mid-November of 2026. It's duration is scheduled to be six months. The LIGO instruments will be slightly more sensitive than in the previous observing run O4. Virgo will join but with possible interruptions for maintenance and upgrade, and KAGRA will join later in the run as available.

    The record-breaking merger might be a mass illusion from spin-precession warping the waveform! Wild that spacetime ripples can trick our mass estimates this badly 🌀🕳️

    A supermassive black hole feasted on gas then blasted radio jets 300 days later! Watching the delayed cause-and-effect between accretion and outflow is like catching a cosmic burp in slow motion 🕳️✨
