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.
Dec 24th: Missing Black Hole Continues To Mystify Scientists
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.
Dec 10th: Black Hole’s Dust Ring Casting Shadows
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.

Oct 26th: The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics
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.
Oct 24th: X-Ray Binaries and Astrocomms!
This week on The Cosmic Savannah Podcast, Dr. Tana Joseph discuss about X-ray binaries and Astrocomms, the STEM consulting and communications company.
Oct 22nd: Death By Spaghettification!
ESO telescopes captured the last moments of a star being destroyed by a black hole in a tidal disruption event.
Oct 6th: What’s really at the center of a black hole?
What can possibly replace the singularity? What are Planck stars and Gravastars? What’s it like to fall into a rotating black hole?
Aug 20th: Free-flowing Water On Ancient Mars? Not So Fast!
Join us today as we talk about newly released research that suggests the waters on ancient Mars were subglacial and not free-flowing. Also, a black hole goes dormant and star formation goes wild.
Jul 9th: That’s a Big Black Hole!
The biggest black hole ever seen?
What’s the difference between planets and stars? Are particles inside of spacetime? Why can’t we communicate faster than light? @PaulMattSutter will discuss this topic at #365DaysOfAstro
