Each year, Black Space Week celebrates the achievements of Black Americans in space-related fields. To kick-off Black Space Week 2024, NASA is collaborating with the National Space Council for the Beyond the Color Lines: From Science Fiction to Science Fact forum on Monday, June 17, at 11:30 a.m. EDT at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in...
A team of astronomers have studied 16 supermassive black holes that are firing powerful beams into space, to track where these beams, or jets, are pointing now and where they were aimed in the past, as reported in our latest press release. Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) National Radio Astronomical Observatory’s...
An analysis of tax documents makes it clear that election integrity proponents must pour sunshine on the left’s efforts to destroy the security of our votes. The left’s corrupt mothership is Arabella Advisors and its attorney, Democrat’s top manipulator of our voting system, Marc Elias. Through Arabella and his cadre of downline radical leftist activists, Elias has...
Conservative, African American commentator Deroy Murdock notes that in today’s VA elections, black voters will turn out, make an impact, and look to Republican candidates in greater numbers than ever in the state. As Democrat elites try to manipulate minority voters, conservative candidates have reached out to the minority community, many of whom reject liberals’...
Montclair, N.J.— At 9 a.m. on May 21, New Jersey native and health and nutrition enthusiast Kirk Charles, age 61, will embark on a more than 1,000 mile bike trip beginning at the Columbus Circle entrance of Central Park (59th Street and Broadway) in New York City. He plans to complete the journey in Chicago on June 5. Charles’ goal is to raise awareness about the...
Data from NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope has given scientists new insights into why some supermassive black holes shine differently than others. In images from NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope, streams of dust thousands of light-years long flow toward the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Andromeda galaxy. It turns out these streams can help...
Astronomers have discovered black holes ranging from a few times the Sun’s mass to tens of billions. Now a group of scientists has predicted that NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could find a class of “featherweight” black holes that has so far eluded detection. Today, black holes form either when a massive star collapses or when heavy objects merge. However...
“People often ask about this, and simulating these difficult-to-imagine processes helps me connect the mathematics of relativity to actual consequences in the real universe,” said Jeremy Schnittman, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who created the visualizations. “So I simulated two different scenarios, one where a...
