Detecting Supermassive Black Holes Using Smaller Black Holes
Write a comment
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Aug 08, 2024
An international team of astrophysicists, including researchers from the University of Zurich, has developed a novel method to detect pairs of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. This new approach involves analyzing gravitational waves generated by nearby small stellar black hole binaries.
The origin of supermassive black holes at galactic centers remains a major mystery i

SpaceX launches 21 satellites from Florida; another one set Sunday
Write a comment
Washington DC (UPI) Aug 10, 2024
SpaceX launched 21 Starlink satellites into orbit from a Falcon 9 rocket Saturday morning in clear skies from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, one day after the mission was scrubbed because of poor booster recovery conditions.
The 230-foot rocket lifted off at 8:50 a.m. from pad 40. It was Space X's 52nd launch this year from Florida.
Eight minutes later, the booster landed on

Archaeologists conduct first 'space excavation' on ISS and discover surprising quirks of zero-G life
Write a comment
New results from the first archaeological fieldwork conducted in space show the International Space Station is a rich cultural landscape where crew create their own "gravity" to replace Earth's, and adapt module spaces to suit their needs.
Archaeology is usually thought of as the study of the distant past, but it's ideally suited for revealing how people adapt to long-duration spaceflight.
In the SQuARE experiment described in our new paper in PLOS ONE, we re-imagined a standard archaeological method for use in space, and got astronauts to carry it out for us.
Archaeology … in … spaaaaace!
The International Space Station is the first permanent human settlement in space. Close to 280 people have visited it in the past 23 years.
Our team has studied displays of photos, religious icons and artworks made by crew members from different countries, observed the cargo that is returned to Earth, and used NASA's historic photo archive to examine the relationships between crew members who serve together.
