Black Hole

From the ground, it looked like a second moon floating across the sky.  A research balloon that was the size of a football stadium recently passed over Nunavut and the N.W.T. studying the galaxy, and generating a buzz in some of the communities it travelled over.  The XL-Calibur — launched from Kiruna, Sweden,…

The fastest growing black hole in nine million years has been discovered by Australian researchers, according to ANU astrophysicist and cosmologist Dr Brad Tucker. “A really cool discovery, so using the Siding Spring SkyMapper telescope, they were able to find this black hole,” he told Sky News Australia. “It’s a…

The crypto world is no stranger to market manipulation. In fact, it’s something that happens on a regular basis. The most recent example is the story of BitConnect, which promised guaranteed returns of up to 40% per month. Of course, this was too good to be true and the platform eventually collapsed, taking billions of dollars…

Astronomers have discovered what they think could be a black hole roaming the Milky Way all by its lonesome. Why it matters: The discovery of this possible black hole will allow researchers to pin down exactly how many of these objects may exist out there in our galaxy and how…

The enormous cosmic entity is 3 billion times more massive than the…

As a part of the SkyMapper project, an international team led by astronomers at The Australian National University (ANU) has found the fastest-growing black hole of the last nine billion years. This rapidly growing black hole is 500 times bigger than the black hole in our Galaxy. It has a…

Black holes are terrifying and now scientists believe they have found the fastest-growing black hole ever. They believe it is the fastest-growing of the past 9 billion years. Additionally, the scientists say it consumes the equivalent of one Earth every second that passes. Scientists found the fastest-growing black hole in…

In 2020, a team of MIT researchers used an AI algorithm to search a pool of 100 million molecules for new antibiotics. The AI struck gold. It identified a molecule that can kill a range of bacteria, including the increasingly drug-resistant bug that causes tuberculosis. The scientists named the molecule…

A massive, fast-growing black hole, more luminous than previously discovered phenomena, has been discovered by an international team led by astronomers in Australia. Scientists say the black hole consumes the equivalent of one Earth every second and shines 7,000 times brighter than all the light from our own galaxy. Researchers…
