Jeredin, w Lightest black hole or heaviest neutron star? MeerKAT uncovers a mysterious object in Milky Way

I’ve been studying the range of neutron stars for some time and I feel confident it won’t be too long until much of our evidence and observations will show that black holes, quasars, super massive black holes and the range of other black holes are very likely, more extreme neutron stars - if not quark-like stars or stellar quantum-like objects. For fun, I’ve been also been focusing on colloids, extreme condensates and their quantum/relativistic phases/states; very revealing interactions and emergent properties. Now if we could just better observe zero-point energy…

5714,

What is zero-point energy?

themeatbridge, w Astrobotic's Peregrine lander suffers propulsion issue, making moon landing unlikely

You mean farming out scientific discovery to the lowest bidder doesn’t yield the best results?

wahming,

Were they the lowest bidder? The article doesn’t mention anything about that.

Also, going with the lowest bidder gave us spacex, which turned out pretty well. Fuck Boeing

Indeed, this is the way. Fuccckk thaaatt Boeiiiinggg ::::meditation mantra::::::

nooneescapesthelaw,

Farming out to the lowest bidder works well when the guidelines are strict and the client (gvmnt) does good QA.

Lots of stuff was farmed out in the apollo mission and it was still ok. Strict QA was noted as a very important factor in why that mission was a success.

You can read the case study by NASA about this, and you’ll see that they have 1 article just about QA and how they did testing, and another one about testing and deadlines

InternetCitizen2, w LIGO, facing threats of closure, more than doubles its black hole haul

The project was like bearly getting started too. I remember the first detection in 2015

Slut.

Try not to grab another moon on your way through the parking lot!

that's what they want you to believe, they still haven't shown us the monolith

Subtracty, w Astronomers seek global ban on space advertising

Can’t even escape to the great outdoors. I’ve never even considered this type of advertising as a possibility. Fuck that’s bleak.

Bronzebeard, w Heliophysicists call for fresh missions to study the Sun—and a new name for the field

Who wrote this shit? You can’t make an article that’s half about wanting a new name for your field and end it with “there’s a lot of ideas” without giving a single one. Garbage.

vzq, w Roman Space Telescope reaches assembly milestone

When your space program delays are so massive that your empire hasn’t existed for 1500 years, but your payload is still in the assembly stage.

She may be elderly, but she’s not quite that ancient :)

Cool, one more thing to keep me up at night

To shreds spaghetti you say?

captain_aggravated, w Size Comparison: Pluto and Australia
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Meanwhile, Australia is down there like “WTF mate?”

milicent_bystandr,

Nah, no one likes lives in that part of Australia. Pluto sitting there just means drivers from Perth to Sydney have to take a little detour.

@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

I mean, I’m pretty sure you’d be able to see it from everywhere in Australia, so I bet many of them would be like “WTF?” But they’ll be dead soon. Fuckin’ kangaroos.

Still can’t unsee Pluto on Pluto

The_Che_Banana, w Hubble finds strong evidence for intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are a long-sought ‘missing link’ in black hole evolution. Only a few other IMBH candidates have been found to date. Most known black holes are either extremely massive, like the supermassive black holes that lie at the cores of large galaxies, or relatively lightweight, with a mass less than 100 times that of the Sun. Black holes are one of the most extreme environments humans are aware of, and so they are a testing ground for the laws of physics and our understanding of how the Universe works. If IMBHs exist, how common are they? Does a supermassive black hole grow from an IMBH? How do IMBHs themselves form? Are dense star clusters their favoured home?

btaf45, w Astronomers discover two new Milky Way satellite galaxy candidates

If the distribution of those nine satellite galaxies across the entire Milky Way is similar to what was found in the footprint captured by the HSC-SSP, the research team calculates that there actually may be closer to 500 satellite galaxies

WTF? I was thinking there were around a dozen or so.

They solved one conundrum just to find another. Too few dwarfs then too many.
