"I've done a lot of time-dilated travel." This statement encapsulates the essence of Grace's journey, highlighting the profound effects of traveling at speeds approaching light, where time for the traveler slows down significantly compared to those remaining on Earth.
an electron within a molecule gets excited to a higher-energy state, the electron de-transitions back to the lower energy state, where it emits light of a very specific wavelength in the process. Then, pumped or injected energy re-excites an electron within that very same molecule back into that higher-energy state, over and over.
Nigerian American photographer Mikael Owunna's life-size, shimmering images of ancient deities in outer space set the tone for "UNBOUND: Art, Blackness and the Universe," MoAD's stellar exploration of the African diaspora in the eternal and the infinite. "UNBOUND," which runs through Aug. 16, 2026, is MoAD curatorial chief Key Jo Lee's most ambitious exhibition to date. Over three floors, she presents an African diaspora that is "unbound" from earthly and chronological conceptions of diaspora.
The gravitational forces of a primordial black hole would be so strong that they would tear the cells of your brain apart from the inside out. Professor Scherrer says: 'A sufficiently large primordial black hole, about the size of an asteroid or larger, would cause serious injury or death if it passed through you. 'It would behave like a gunshot.'
But this new one, dubbed GRB 250702B, blows everything we know about these fearsome blasts out the water. For starters, it lasted a staggering seven hours, which is vastly longer than they typically do. And it also appeared to repeat several times over its run, which shouldn't be possible. A GRB is produced by the total obliteration of a star, so how could the same source emit multiple blasts?
The enormous interstellar object, now officially dubbed 3I/ATLAS, is already speeding through the solar system at 41 miles per second, or 150,000 miles per hour. This has sparked speculation that 3I/ATLAS's intense brightness might not have a natural explanation.
Masters states that observing the cosmos has equipped him to manage data intricacies at Virgin Atlantic, emphasizing the importance of stripping noise to glean insights.
