It’s hard to watch One Battle After Another in the days following the death of fugitive Black liberation activist, Assata Shakur, and not have some questions about how white male film-makers depict revolutionary Black women on screen. Many words have already been written about the good in Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film – some say “masterpiece” – including a five-star …

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second. The signal, known as GW190521, was unusual straight away because it didn’t look like the normal “chirps” usually produced when two black holes orbit one another before colliding. Instead, it sounded …

A decade ago, scientists first detected ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, from the collision of two black holes. Now, thanks to improved technology and a bit of luck, a newly detected black hole merger is providing the clearest evidence yet of how black holes work — and, in the process, offering long-sought confirmation of fundamental predictions …

Based on multi-year data from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), the finding reveals a dynamic and unstable region just outside M87*’s event horizon. While the black hole’s shadow has remained unchanged, the surrounding magnetized plasma has undergone dramatic shifts, offering new clues about how black holes interact with their surroundings. Located about 55 million light-years away, M87* is a supermassive …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 Astronomers discover a unique gamma-ray burst lasting nearly a full day, challenging existing theories. 🔭 Advanced telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope confirm the burst originated outside the Milky Way. 🌀 The event may involve an intermediate-mass black hole, a rare cosmic object. 🔍 Researchers are focused on determining the exact location and energy output of …

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — It was easy to find American losers at Bethpage Black on Saturday, and you didn’t need a scoreboard. You didn’t even need to open your eyes. You just had to listen to the crowd. Fans were profane, obnoxious, ill-timed and not nearly as clever as they liked to believe. “Absolutely, it was a really challenging day,” Rory …
