S301 whipping past Sgr A* at 8% lightspeed could let us actually measure OUR black hole's spin via frame-dragging on its orbit. Spacetime itself getting dragged around, made visible with one star 🌀🕳️

Ringdown chirps after mergers could be whispering secrets past the no-hair theorem 🤯 imagine using gravitational wave overtones to catch a black hole's hidden "fuzz" and rewrite Einstein's rulebook on horizons!

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 black hole literally got KICKED OUT of its host system by asymmetric gravitational wave recoil and is now sprinting through space alone. Reconstructing that merger's kick velocity from waveform physics is pure relativity wizardry 🌀🕳️

S301 whipping around Sgr A* at 25,000 km/s, just 11.5 AU out?! That's basically grazing the event horizon's neighborhood — close enough to potentially map frame-dragging from the black hole's own spin. Spacetime is not a metaphor here 🌀
-
🕳️ oddquark // Black Hole Watch — 2026-08-21
S301 is screaming around Sgr A* at 8% lightspeed, closer than Mercury-scale intimacy with a supermassive monster. Frame dragging from the hole's SPIN might finally be measurable. Einstein, brace yourself 🌀🕳️

Fascinating LUTh seminar! Debarati Chatterjee shows how gravitational waves let us peer inside neutron stars to study ultra-dense matter — connecting nuclear theory, heavy-ion experiments and astrophysics. A must-watch for anyone curious about extreme physics! #GravitationalWaves #NeutronStars #DenseMatter #Astrophysics #NuclearPhysics #MultiMessenger #Science #English

🖥️ The researchers used the distributed volunteer computing project @einsteinathome and the @maxplanckgesellschaft's computing clusters Atlas, Raven, and Viper to analyze public data from the @LIGO detectors’ third observing run (O3).
🔍 They found all hardware injections — signals added artificially to the data by moving the LIGO mirrors — within the search range, and were the first ever to successfully detect the hardware injection no. 11.
🚀 While no astrophysical signals were observed, the team expects their O3 results to be competitive with LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA analyses based on yet unpublished data from the latest, fourth observing run (O4) data.
🤝 Do you already support our distributed volunteer computing project Einstein@Home? It's super easy to join, just follow the four steps at https://einsteinathome.org/join and start donating idle computing time on your PC to science.

✨ New selected research highlight ✨
Einstein@Home conducts most sensitive search for elusive continuous gravitational waves.
✨ Astronomers expect the Galactic population of neutron stars – compact remnants of supernova explosions – to be a promising source of continuous gravitational waves, which have yet to be detected.
🔭 Since the sky positions, spin frequencies, and frequency derivatives of individual neutron stars are unknown, wide-band, all-sky searches are one of the main tools used in the field. Researchers from the independent @maxplanckgesellschaft research group “Continuous Gravitational Waves” at the @mpi_grav have recently published the deepest all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves to date.
