More on the black hole story


Scientists finally capture the first image of a black hole, the one at the center of galaxy Messier 87


For the first time, scientists have created a cosmic portrait of a supermassive black hole. The Event Horizon Telescope, a network of 10 radio telescopes spread across the planet functioning as one giant receiver, detected the black hole.

From the link. Guess that fake 2 day mission is scrubbed and the real mission on the far side is a go.


Editor's note: Israel's Beresheet moon lander has failed in its attempt to land on the moon. An initial story will be posted shortly.
Original story: To date, three countries have landed on the moon. Today, that number may become four.

The bot bought it so to speak.

I will remember this better than JFK being bushwhacked. I assume the other 2 payloads are doing just fine.

No dust plume??

That's the little burp whenever the sun, which is seen as a black hole in another set of dimensions, swallows up an Earth-sized planet.
that IS an interesting factoid. thx.

another set of dimensions?? some specifics.. plse and thx.

Well, there may be an infinite number of dimensions ... lots and lots of them We just perceive and operate in three and sort of in a fourth. All sorts of stuff can be happening beside us ... inside us that cannot be perceived by us from "here" or from "there" about "here," ... which is a someone silly way of talking about it because "there," is "here". It's just that it we have no way of perceiving all the other possible vectors.

I kinda like to think that there is an "existence" somewhere in the "verse that has figured all this out , has the data to substantiate it......and might even e able to move between the dimensions....

When one pauses to think at the immense possibilities and factors........it makes one .......again.......realise how insignificant we are in the bigger scheme of things........ in some ways.......yet have the potential to conceptualize and learn about the complexities of the vast forms of existence. (suns, planets, comets, etc) Our strength is our ability to continue to adapt. within a life force .....that so far is the only one detected in the uni-multi verse.

There are mathematical proofs, apparently. Nothing else that we recognise, yet ... maybe, we just don't know what we're looking at.

Well, all sorts of people claim to have seen ghosts. Is all of that happening within our brains? Does I happening in our brains make it not real?
it would be "real" to the folks perceiving those images.

the question is to explain the phenomena. Hallucinations???? drug/chemical induced imaging?? brain functions that are different from the "norm"??

the brain could be called as the real last frontier........
