Scientists spot flash of light from colliding black holes. But how? | Live Science

Black holes aren’t supposed to make flashes of light. It’s right there in the name: black holes. Even when they slam into each other, the massive objects are supposed to be invisible to astronomers’ traditional instruments. But when scientists detected a black hole collision last year, they also spotted a weird flash from the crash. https://www.livescience.com/amp/black-holes-collision-flash-of-light.html

Could invisible aliens really exist among us? An astrobiologist explains

Life is pretty easy to recognise. It moves, it grows, it eats, it excretes, it reproduces. Simple. In biology, researchers often use the acronym “MRSGREN” to describe it. It stands for movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition… Read more about the topic here in the link below… https://theconversation.com/amp/could-invisible-aliens-really-exist-among-us-an-astrobiologist-explains-129419

Monster Billion Solar Mass Black Hole Found in the Early Universe – SciTechDaily

Most massive quasar known in early universe discovered on Maunakea. The second-most distant quasar ever discovered now has a Hawaiian name. Astronomers have discovered the second-most distant quasar ever found using three Maunakea Observatories in Hawai‘i: W. M. Keck Observatory, the international Gemini Observatory, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab, and the University of Hawai‘i-owned United […]

The ‘Return’ Of The Loch Ness Monster Feels Amusingly Appropriate

2020 continues to barrel forward, and is now beginning to resemble an episode of Rick and Morty, having delivered a global pandemic, swarms of locusts, an invasion of “murder hornets,” Pentagon-approved footage of U.F.Os, and a green glow that recently appeared around Mars – now, the Loch Ness Monster is making an unexpected comeback… More about this article in link below… […]

Alien life is out there, but our theories are probably steering us away from it

If we discovered evidence of alien life, would we even realise it? Life on other planets could be so different from what we’re used to that we might not recognise any biological signatures that it produces. Recent years have seen changes to our theories about what counts as a biosignature and which planets might be habitable, and further turnarounds are […]

Experiment confirms 50-year-old theory describing how an alien civilization could exploit a black hole

A 50-year-old theory that began as speculation about how an alien civilization could use a black hole to generate energy has been experimentally verified for the first time in a Glasgow research lab…More about this article in link below… https://phys.org/news/2020-06-year-old-theory-alien-civilization-exploit.html

Scientists just found the biggest neutron star (or smallest black hole) yet in a strange cosmic collision | Space

Astrophysicists have spotted the strangest gravitational-wave signal yet, an observation that could force scientists to rewrite what they know about the cosmos. Gravitational waves form when massive objects distort spacetime surrounding them and send ripples out across the universe. Scientists caught the first-ever detection of such waves, formed by two colliding black holes, in 2015… More about this […]
