What is a black hole firewall? How does it solve some paradoxes when it comes to black holes? Do the firewalls actually exist? I discuss these questions and more in today’s Ask a Spaceman!
A tiny black hole, only three solar masses, has been found inside the Milky Way in the constellation Monoceros. One of the smallest black holes ever found, it is also the closest one to Earth. Plus, Perseverance, Gaia, a brown dwarf, new images of Jupiter, seismic monitoring from space, and this week’s What’s Up.
Time for @AwesomeAstroPod skyguide and astronomy news roundup.
Time for @AwesomeAstroPod news update and sky guide. This week we have Cygnus X-1 black hole, super-supermassive black hole, the impact that killed dinosaurs, & the mythical planet nine.
Theoretical physicists have found a way to possibly detect primordial black holes which could lead to answers about dark matter and maybe even the existence of a multiverse.
A massive black hole should be in galaxy cluster Abell 2261. Observations with Chandra and Hubble haven’t located it. Plus, classifying supernovae with AI, neutron stars, the lithium composition problem, and more planetary science.
Once again, we find that dust is the culprit, this time causing a black hole to cast shadows out from the heart of its galaxy. Plus, a megaflood on ancient Mars, a fossil galaxy in the Milky Way, another minimoon for Earth, newborn jets and more.
It’s time for November skyguide and news roundup with @AwesomeAstroPod. Today, we have phosphine on Venus, mini-moon, water on the Moon. And did humanity narrowly escape extinction in 1908?
This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three brilliant researchers who worked out some of the secrets of black holes. Today we’re going to talk about the chain of discoveries that led to this award.
This week on The Cosmic Savannah Podcast, Dr. Tana Joseph discuss about X-ray binaries and Astrocomms, the STEM consulting and communications company.
