Using a telescope the size of the planet, astronomers have captured the first image of this space oddity. Here's why that matters.
EHT is targeting two black holes, the biggest in the sky from our point of view. The first is Sagittarius A*, thesupermassive black holeat the centre of the Milky Way, while the second is an even larger black hole at the centre of the Messier 87 galaxy, found in the constella...
The deceleration of this mildly relativistic material by the ambient medium produces long lasting radio flares. A canonical ns ^2 ^2 merger at the detection horizon of advanced LIGO/Virgo produces a radio flare that peaks on a time scale of one year with a flux of \sim \sim 0.1 mJy at ...
Then, using a cutting blade and steel ruler, I cut several cardboard stars. I just used abradawlto punch hanging holes in the top of the stars. Painting Constellations Step 2:I started by painting the constellation side of the ornaments to avoid any potential paint drips on the back when ...

Mystically liberal Virgo enjoys long walks alone in the city at night in the rain with an umbrella and a flask of 10-year-old Laphroaig. I strive to live by these maxims: “I always tell the truth—that way I don’t have to remember what I said” and...
mollusks and annelids. Prohormone-4 precursors were identified in the venom gland transcriptomes of several other species ofConus(C. geographus, C. tessulatus, C. variusandC. virgo). In honey bee, prohormone-4 was identified in the brain and has been implicated in the regulation of behavior...
based telescopes. Also known as NGC 4594, theSombrero galaxy can be seen across the spectrum and is host to a centralsupermassive black hole. About 50,000 light-years across and 28 millionlight-years away, M104 is one of the largest galaxies at the southern edge ofthe Virgo Galaxy Cluster...
Fornax is only about 10 percent further that the better known and more populated Virgo cluster of galaxies. Fornax has a well-defined central region that contains many galaxies, but is still evolving. It has other galaxy groupings that appear distinct and have yet to merge. Seen here, almost...
