Stars becoming visible in the evening sky as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico.

Brilliant Venus is in the lower left quadrant and is the brightest object in the frame.

Along the left edge is the star Spica in the constellation Virgo.

Along the upper edge, left of center is the star Arcturus, and the Big Dipper is in the upper right quadrant.

The lights of the village of La Luz are sprinkled along the floor of the Tularosa basin.

Der italienische Physiker Dr. Simone Albanesi erforscht als Humboldt-Stipendiat an der #UniJena exotische Schwarze-Loch-Systeme und entwickelt Modelle für Observatorien wie #LIGO, #Virgo und #KAGRA. Seine Arbeit hilft dabei, Einsteins Relativitätstheorie unter extremen Bedingungen zu testen.

Sternhaufen erzeugen übergroße Schwarze Löcher
"
"Schwarze Löcher aus Sternexplosionen sollten eine bestimmte Masse nicht überschreiten. Nun wurde erklärt, wie dennoch größere Exemplare entstehen können"
