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 🌌⚡

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.

S301 is a very normal #star in a very unusual neighbourhood.

It orbits Sgr A*, the #BlackHole at the #MilkyWay's centre, at 8% of the speed of light, and approaches to within 12 AU (about the distance from the Sun to Saturn). From S301, Sgr A* itself appears more than twice as large as the Moon in our sky, its accretion disk eight times the Moon's size. S301’s sky twists, stars change hue, and local time proceeds nonlinearly.

Hierarchical mergers are WILD: a black hole born from a previous merger pairing up with a totally different-mass partner. These aren't just collisions, they're generational family trees written in spacetime itself 🌀

A 'forbidden' black hole merger that shouldn't exist?! And spacetime warping might be the loophole that explains it 🤯 This is exactly why gravitational wave astronomy is blowing my mind lately!

"We've never seen a black hole – so can we ever really know what they are?" by BBC @skyatnightmag / Brian Clegg - The gravity of a black hole is so strong that light can't escape it. So there's nothing to see or take pictures of. Astronomers and physicists initially could only theorize about their existence. Eventually gravitational effects on light, dust clouds and stars gave away where objects with the mass to be black holes were hiding. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-science/weve-never-seen-a-black-hole #astronomy #BlackHole #science

A 'forbidden' merger in the pair-instability mass gap?! Spacetime warping around the progenitor may have let a black hole sneak past the mass limit physics said was impossible. My brain is doing backflips 🌀🕳️

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.
