Cameras have also slipped free in the vacuum of space. In 2007, astronaut Sunita Williams lost her digital camera during a spacewalk near the ISS solar arrays. Earlier, Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins misplaced a Hasselblad camera inside the cramped Columbia command module, jokingly reporting the incident to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Williams’s camera, like most lost items, eventually …

The recoil imparted as two black holes collide has now been measured using gravitational waves. It’s the first-ever measurement to capture not just the velocity at which the newly formed black hole was punted across space, but also the direction, offering a new tool for understanding black hole mergers. From the 2019 gravitational wave event GW190412, astronomers have determined that …
