A STAR POWERED BY A BLACK HOLE?! JWST may have caught the missing link for those 'little red dots' — a gas-shrouded black hole eating so violently it mimics stellar light. Early universe physics is unhinged 🤯🕳️

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 🤯🌌

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.

How it all began almost exactly 31 years ago:

Karsten Danzmann breaks the ground for the German-British gravitational-wave detector GEO600 on 4 September 1995. He did not have to dig the two 600 meter long arm trenches all by himself, though 😉

Until the end of 1995 the foundations for the central building were done and the arm trenches were prepared.

New catalog more than doubles the number of gravitational-wave detections made by LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA observatories

The latest crop of space-time wobbles includes a variety of heavy, fast-spinning, and lopsided colliding black holes.

Curious gravitational wave may be hint at primordial black holes - or just noise

It’s a long shot, but scientists may have spotted exotic primordial black holes formed just after the Big Bang. Astronomers approach unusual observation with caution and excitement.
