Austrian school expels kindergarten children after parents protest pornographic posters

 

School officials refuse to back down, defending their decision by claiming the graphic posters are 'fostering diversity, self-acceptance, and a positive body image in children.'

 

The poster, which is too explicit to include in this report, is pornographic. It shows trans-identifying men, naked, baring their breasts and penis. It shows nude adults alongside children. One image shows a grossly overweight male in the shower with a little boy, both of them singing. The images depicting adults and children are left unexplained, but considering the fact that they are part of “sex education,” they are objectively disturbing to any reasonable viewer.

If Netanyahu met with his Illuminati Hamas counter part planned the attack together in order to start WW3.

Jon Stewart Blasts GOP Response to California Fires: ‘There’s Something Wrong With You’

 

Jon Stewart addressed the ongoing fires in Los Angeles, as well as the varied responses to the disaster, on a new episode of The Daily Show. The late-night host specifically took aim at Republicans, who have called for strings to be attached to the relief funds.

 

Stewart first highlighted the “incredible moments of human compassion and kindness” that have occurred since the fires broke out last week, praising people for looking after their neighbors and charitable contributions. He also paid tribute to the “tireless efforts” of firefighters and rescue workers, some of whom have come from Canada and Mexico. “Damn your open borders Biden,” Stewart quipped.

 

Not all responses have been so positive, however, including those from incoming president Donald Trump and many Republicans. “The problem now is Republicans appear to watch to attach their ‘I told you so’s’ as a condition of funding California’s disaster relief,” Stewart explained before playing a montage of clips of politicians calling for the state’s leaders to be held accountable before given money. The montage ended with Tommy Tuberville saying California doesn’t “deserve anything.”

 

“What the fuck is wrong with you? Really, senator from Alabama?” Stewart responded. “The state with the bottom in math, reading, and test scores? Next time you get hit by a fucking hurricane, why don’t we have a little parent-teacher conference to see if you got your scores up, you would get the money — or actually, let’s not do it ’cause you’ll get the money anyway ’cause we’re not fucking psychos. That is psychotic. There’s something wrong with you.”

 

He added that there are numerous Republicans who took the complete opposite view “when it was their state on the line.” “Red states are always the tragic victims of circumstance outside of their control, and Democrats always vote for their aid,” he said. “Whereas blue state disasters are a function of their flawed morality and policy, and if we help blue state survivors, well, what message will that send? What lesson will they learn?”

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day

North Star: Polaris and Surrounding Dust

 

Why is Polaris called the North Star? First, Polaris is the nearest bright star toward the north spin axis of the Earth. Therefore, as the Earth turns, stars appear to revolve around Polaris, but Polaris itself always stays in the same northerly direction – making it the North Star. Since no bright star is near the south spin axis of the Earth, there is currently no bright South Star. Thousands of years ago, Earth's spin axis pointed in a slightly different direction so that Vega was the North Star. Although Polaris is not the brightest star on the sky, it is easily located because it is nearly aligned with two stars in the cup of the Big Dipper. Polaris is near the center of the five-degree wide featured image, a digital composite of hundreds of exposures that brings out faint gas and dust of the Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) all over the frame. The surface of Cepheid Polaris slowly pulsates, causing the famous star to change its brightness by a few percent over the course of a few days.

Has anyone really done a proper analysis on the graphene people were getting injected with? According to the research I found nano graphene can be used as an antenna send or receive (or just absorb) radiation in the low terahertz band… and the human appears to produce terahertz radiation for some purpose. It was hypothesized by a scientist some 100 years ago that the human body uses some frequency of radiation to communicate at the cellular level.

Former NASA Official, Astronaut Bob Cabana Receives Top Civilian Award

Jan 13, 2025

 

Robert Cabana, who served as a NASA associate administrator, astronaut, and a colonel in the United States Marine Corps, received the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service, recognizing his exceptional achievements and public service to the nation.

The award, signed by President Biden, is the highest honor the federal government can grant to a federal civilian employee.

 

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy presented Cabana with the award during a ceremony at NASA Headquarters in Washington on Jan. 10.

Cabana most recently served as NASA’s associate administrator, which is the agency’s highest ranking civil servant, from 2021 until he retired from the agency at the end of 2023.

 

“A true public servant, Bob has spent his entire career in service to his country. I can think of no one more deserving of this rare honor than Bob,” said Nelson.

“From his time as a naval aviator to his role as associate administrator of NASA, Bob has dedicated his life to improving his country. I join with President Biden in thanking Bob for his dedication and commitment.”

 

The award recognized Cabana for his roles as a Marine aviator, test pilot, astronaut and becoming the first American to enter the International Space Station.

He was further recognized for continuing to push for the bounds of the possible, launching the James Webb Space Telescope, the Artemis I mission and the Orion spacecraft which will send humans back to the Moon for the first time in decades.

 

As a NASA astronaut, Cabana flew in space four times, including twice as commander. His final space shuttle flight in 1998 was the first International Space Station assembly mission.

Cabana also was the director of the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for more than a decade.

There he led its transition from retirement of the space shuttle to a multi-user spaceport once again launching NASA astronauts to low Earth orbit, and for the first time, doing so with commercial partners.

 

As NASA associate administrator, Cabana led the agency’s 10 center directors, as well as the mission directorate associate administrators at NASA Headquarters.

He was the agency’s chief operating officer for more than 18,000 employees and oversaw an annual budget of more than $25 billion.

 

Cabana was selected as an astronaut candidate in June 1985 and completed training in July 1986. He logged 38 days in space during four shuttle missions.

Cabana was a pilot aboard space shuttle Discovery on both the STS-41 mission in October 1990 that deployed the Ulysses spacecraft and the STS-53 mission in December 1992.

He was the mission commander aboard space shuttle Columbia for the STS-65 mission in July 1994 that conducted experiments as part of the second International Microgravity Laboratory mission.

He commanded space shuttle Endeavour for the STS-88 mission in December 1998.

 

Cabana was appointed a member of the Federal Senior Executive Service in 2000 and served in numerous senior management positions at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, ultimately becoming deputy director.

He was named director of NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi in October 2007 and a year later was selected as NASA Kennedy director.

 

Born in Minneapolis, Cabana graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1971 with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics.

He became a naval aviator and graduated with distinction from the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School in 1981. In his career, Cabana logged over 7,000 hours in more than 50 different kinds of aircraft.

He retired as a colonel from the U.S. Marine Corps in September 2000.

 

In addition to receiving the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Service, Cabana’s accomplishments have been recognized with induction into the Astronaut Hall of Fame and being named an Associate Fellow in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a Fellow in the Society of Experimental Test Pilots.

He has received numerous personal awards and decorations, including the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Presidential Distinguished Rank Award. 

He also is a recipient of the Rotary National Award for Space Achievement’s National Space Trophy.

Newly Selected Citizen Science Proposals: A Peek at What’s Next

Jan 13, 2025

 

Last year, the NASA citizen science community saw a prize from the White House and two prizes from professional societies: one from the Division of Planetary Sciences and one from the American Astronomical Society.

Our teams published two papers in the prestigious journal, Nature, one on a planetary crash and one about a distant world that seems to have auroras. 2024 was a year of 5000 comets, two solar eclipses and plenty of broken records.

 

But we’re not stopping to rest on our laurels. In 2024, NASA selected 25 new citizen science proposals for funding that will lead to new projects and new results to look forward to in 2025 and beyond.

Here’s a roundup of those selections and the principal investigators (PIs) of each team—a sneak peek at what’s coming next in NASA citizen science!

Note that these investigations are research grants–some of them will result in new opportunities for the public, others will use results from earlier citizen science projects or develop new tools.

Webb Watches Carbon-Rich Dust Shells Form, Expand in Star System

Jan 13, 2025

 

Astronomers have long tried to track down how elements like carbon, which is essential for life, become widely distributed across the universe.

Now, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has examined one ongoing source of carbon-rich dust in our own Milky Way galaxy in greater detail: Wolf-Rayet 140, a system of two massive stars that follow a tight, elongated orbit.

 

As they swing past one another (within the central white dot in the Webb images), the stellar winds from each star slam together, the material compresses, and carbon-rich dust forms.

Webb’s latest observations show 17 dust shells shining in mid-infrared light that are expanding at regular intervals into the surrounding space.

 

Image A: Compare Observations of Wolf-Rayet 140 (MIRI Images)

“The telescope not only confirmed that these dust shells are real, its data also showed that the dust shells are moving outward at consistent velocities, revealing visible changes over incredibly short periods of time,” said Emma Lieb, the lead author of the new paper and a doctoral student at the University of Denver in Colorado.

Every shell is racing away from the stars at more than 1,600 miles per second (2,600 kilometers per second), almost 1% the speed of light.

“We are used to thinking about events in space taking place slowly, over millions or billions of years,” added Jennifer Hoffman, a co-author and a professor at the University of Denver.

 

“In this system, the observatory is showing that the dust shells are expanding from one year to the next.”

Like clockwork, the stars’ winds generate dust for several months every eight years, as the pair make their closest approach during a wide, elongated orbit.

Webb also shows how dust formation varies — look for the darker region at top left in both images.

 

Video A: Fade Between 2022 and 2023 Observations of Wolf-Rayet 140

Video B: Stars’ Orbits in Wolf-Rayet 140

 

The telescope’s mid-infrared images detected shells that have persisted for more than 130 years. (Older shells have dissipated enough that they are now too dim to detect.)

The researchers speculate that the stars will ultimately generate tens of thousands of dust shells over hundreds of thousands of years.

 

“Mid-infrared observations are absolutely crucial for this analysis, since the dust in this system is fairly cool.

Near-infrared and visible light would only show the shells that are closest to the star,” explained Ryan Lau, a co-author and astronomer at NSF NOIRLab in Tuscon, Arizona, who led the initial research about this system.

“With these incredible new details, the telescope is also allowing us to study exactly when the stars are forming dust — almost to the day.”

 

The dust’s distribution isn’t uniform. Though this isn’t obvious at first glance, zooming in on the shells in Webb’s images reveals that some of the dust has “piled up,” forming amorphous, delicate clouds that are as large as our entire solar system.

Many other individual dust particles float freely. Every speck is as small as one-hundredth the width of a human hair. Clumpy or not, all of the dust moves at the same speed and is carbon rich.

 

The Future of This System

What will happen to these stars over millions or billions of years, after they are finished “spraying” their surroundings with dust?

The Wolf-Rayet star in this system is 10 times more massive than the Sun and nearing the end of its life.

In its final “act,” this star will either explode as a supernova — possibly blasting away some or all of the dust shells — or collapse into a black hole, which would leave the dust shells intact.

 

Though no one can predict with any certainty what will happen, researchers are rooting for the black hole scenario.

“A major question in astronomy is, where does all the dust in the universe come from?” Lau said. “If carbon-rich dust like this survives, it could help us begin to answer that question.”

 

“We know carbon is necessary for the formation of rocky planets and solar systems like ours,” Hoffman added.

“It’s exciting to get a glimpse into how binary star systems not only create carbon-rich dust, but also propel it into our galactic neighborhood.”

Crew Gears Up for Spacewalk, Conducts Research and Training

January 13, 2025

 

Two NASA astronauts are gearing up this week for the first spacewalk of the year at the International Space Station.

The Expedition 72 crew members also started the week working on botany, combustion, and human research and practicing departing the orbital outpost.

 

Flight Engineer Nick Hague and Commander Suni Williams are scheduled to set their spacesuit batteries to internal power at approximately 8 a.m. EST on Thursday to officially begin their science and maintenance spacewalk.

They will exit the Quest airlock into the vacuum of space and spend about six-and-a-half hours servicing astrophysics gear including the NICER X-ray telescope and the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer.

The pair on Monday organized and configured spacewalking tools inside Quest as NASA Flight Engineer Butch Wilmore charged and installed the lithium-ion batteries that will power their spacesuits.

NASA+ begins its spacewalk coverage at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday.

 

Hague and Williams also spent the first half of their day focusing on research to improve spacecraft safety and sustain crews on long term missions.

Hague opened up the Combustion Integrated Rack and swapped samples of materials to observe how they burn in weightlessness. Understanding how flames spread in space may improve fire safety on crew missions.

Williams installed new hardware and supplied water to the Advanced Plant Habitat for a space botany study exploring how different water levels affect plant growth to provide food for crews on long-term space missions.

 

Wilmore had earlier started his shift collecting potable water samples for analysis then inspecting emergency gear such as fire extinguishers and breathing masks.

NASA Flight Engineer Don Pettit joined cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner and conducted emergency training in the unlikely event the trio would have to evacuate the orbital outpost inside the Soyuz MS-26 crew ship and return to Earth.

 

Ovchinin and Vagner later attached sensors to themselves and measured how microgravity affects blood flow through the tiniest vessels in the human circulatory system for a Roscosmos human research investigation.

Flight Engineer Aleksandr Gorbunov worked on life support maintenance throughout the orbital outpost’s Roscosmos segment on Monday.

Hubble Reveals Surprising Spiral Shape of Galaxy Hosting Young Jet

Jan 13, 2025

 

The night sky has always played a crucial role in navigation, from early ocean crossings to modern GPS. Besides stars, the United States Navy uses quasars as beacons.

Quasars are distant galaxies with supermassive black holes, surrounded by brilliantly hot disks of swirling gas that can blast off jets of material.

Following up on the groundbreaking 2020 discovery of newborn jets in a number of quasars, aspiring naval officer Olivia Achenbach of the United States Naval Academy has used NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to reveal surprising properties of one of them, quasar J0742+2704.

 

"The biggest surprise was seeing the distinct spiral shape in the Hubble Space Telescope images.

At first I was worried I had made an error," said Achenbach, who made the discovery during the course of a four-week internship.

 

“We typically see quasars as older galaxies that have grown very massive, along with their central black holes, after going through messy mergers and have come out with an elliptical shape,” said astronomer Kristina Nyland of the Naval Research Laboratory, Achenbach’s adviser on the research.

"It's extremely rare and exciting to find a quasar-hosting galaxy with spiral arms and a black hole that is more than 400 million times the mass of the Sun — which is pretty big — plus young jets that weren't detectable 20 years ago," Nyland said.

 

The unusual quasar takes its place amid an active debate in the astronomy community over what triggers quasar jets, which can be significant in the evolution of galaxies, as the jets can suppress star formation.

Some astronomers suspect that quasar jets are triggered by major galaxy mergers, as the material from two or more galaxies mashes together, and heated gas is funneled toward merged black holes.

Spiral galaxy quasars like J0742+2704, however, suggest that there may be other pathways for jet formation.

 

While J0742+2704 has maintained its spiral shape, the Hubble image does show intriguing signs of its potential interaction with other galaxies. One of its arms shows distortion, possibly a tidal tail.

"Clearly there is something interesting going on. While the quasar has not experienced a major disruptive merger, it may be interacting with another galaxy, which is gravitationally tugging at its spiral arm," said Nyland.

 

Another galaxy that appears nearby in the Hubble image (though its location still needs to be spectroscopically confirmed) has a ring structure.

This rare shape can occur after a galaxy interaction in which a smaller galaxy punches through the center of a spiral galaxy.

"The ring galaxy near the quasar host galaxy could be an intriguing clue as to what is happening in this system. We may be witnessing the aftermath of the interaction that triggered this young quasar jet," said Nyland.

 

Both Achenbach and Nyland emphasize that this intriguing discovery is really a new starting point, and there will be additional multi-wavelength analysis of J0742+2704 with data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. It's also a case for keeping our eyes on the skies, said Achenbach.

 

"If we looked at this galaxy 20 years, or maybe even a decade ago, we would have seen a fairly average quasar and never known it would eventually be home to newborn jets," said Achenbach.

"It goes to show that if you keep searching, you can find something remarkable that you never expected, and it can send you in a whole new direction of discovery."

How Many Black Holes Are Hiding? NASA Study Homes in on Answer

Jan 13, 2025

 

An effort to find some of the biggest, most active black holes in the universe provides a better estimate for the ratio of hidden to unhidden behemoths.

Multiple NASA telescopes recently helped scientists search the sky for supermassive black holes — those up to billions of times heavier than the Sun.

The new survey is unique because it was as likely to find massive black holes that are hidden behind thick clouds of gas and dust as those that are not.

 

Astronomers think that every large galaxy in the universe has a supermassive black hole at its center. But testing this hypothesis is difficult because researchers can’t hope to count the billions or even trillions of supermassive black holes thought to exist in the universe.

Instead they have to extrapolate from smaller samples to learn about the larger population. So accurately measuring the ratio of hidden supermassive black holes in a given sample helps scientists better estimate the total number of supermassive black holes in the universe.

 

The new study published in the Astrophysical Journal found that about 35% of supermassive black holes are heavily obscured, meaning the surrounding clouds of gas and dust are so thick they block even low-energy X-ray light.

Comparable searches have previously found less than 15% of supermassive black holes are so obscured. Scientists think the true split should be closer to 50/50 based on models of how galaxies grow.

If observations continue to indicate significantly less than half of supermassive black holes are hidden, scientists will need to adjust some key ideas they have about these objects and the role they play in shaping galaxies.

 

Hidden Treasure

Although black holes are inherently dark — not even light can escape their gravity — they can also be some of the brightest objects in the universe:

When gas gets pulled into orbit around a supermassive black hole, like water circling a drain, the extreme gravity creates such intense friction and heat that the gas reaches hundreds of thousands of degrees and radiates so brightly it can outshine all the stars in the surrounding galaxy.

The clouds of gas and dust that surround and replenish the bright central disk may roughly take the shape of a torus, or doughnut.

If the doughnut hole is facing toward Earth, the bright central disk within it is visible; if the doughnut is seen edge-on, the disk is obscured.

 

Most telescopes can rather easily identify face-on supermassive black holes, though not edge-on ones.

But there’s an exception to this that the authors of the new paper took advantage of:

The torus absorbs light from the central source and reemits lower-energy light in the infrared range (wavelengths slightly longer than what human eyes can detect).

Essentially, the doughnuts glow in infrared.

 

These wavelengths of light were detected by NASA’s Infrared Astronomical Satellite, or IRAS, which operated for 10 months in 1983 and was managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.

A survey telescope that imaged the entire sky, IRAS was able to see the infrared emissions from the clouds surrounding supermassive black holes.

Most importantly, it could spot edge-on and face-on black holes equally well.

 

IRAS caught hundreds of initial targets. Some of them turned out to be not heavily obscured black holes but galaxies with high rates of star formation that emit a similar infrared glow.

So the authors of the new study used ground-based, visible-light telescopes to identify those galaxies and separate them from the hidden black holes.

To confirm edge-on, heavily obscured black holes, the researchers relied on NASA’s NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array), an X-ray observatory also managed by JPL. X-rays are radiated by some of the hottest material around the black hole.

Lower-energy X-rays are absorbed by the surrounding clouds of gas and dust, while the higher-energy X-rays observed by NuSTAR can penetrate and scatter off the clouds.

Detecting these X-rays can take hours of observation, so scientists working with NuSTAR first need a telescope like IRAS to tell them where to look.

 

“It amazes me how useful IRAS and NuSTAR were for this project, especially despite IRAS being operational over 40 years ago,” said study lead Peter Boorman, an astrophysicist at Caltech in Pasadena, California.

“I think it shows the legacy value of telescope archives and the benefit of using multiple instruments and wavelengths of light together.”

 

Numerical Advantage

Determining the number of hidden black holes compared to nonhidden ones can help scientists understand how these black holes get so big.

If they grow by consuming material, then a significant number of black holes should be surrounded by thick clouds and potentially obscured. Boorman and his coauthors say their study supports this hypothesis.

 

In addition, black holes influence the galaxies they live in, mostly by impacting how galaxies grow.

This happens because black holes surrounded by massive clouds of gas and dust can consume vast — but not infinite — amounts of material.

If too much falls toward a black hole at once, the black hole starts coughing up the excess and firing it back out into the galaxy.

That can disperse gas clouds within the galaxy where stars are forming, slowing the rate of star formation there.

 

“If we didn’t have black holes, galaxies would be much larger,” said Poshak Gandhi, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom and a coauthor on the new study.

“So if we didn’t have a supermassive black hole in our Milky Way galaxy, there might be many more stars in the sky.

That’s just one example of how black holes can influence a galaxy’s evolution.”

Astronomers Catch Unprecedented Features at Brink of Active Black Hole

Jan 13, 2025

 

The source is 1ES 1927+654, a galaxy located about 270 million light-years away in the constellation Draco. It harbors a central black hole with a mass equivalent to about 1.4 million Suns.

“In 2018, the black hole began changing its properties right before our eyes, with a major optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray outburst,” said Eileen Meyer, an associate professor at UMBC (University of Maryland Baltimore County).

“Many teams have been keeping a close eye on it ever since.”

 

She presented her team’s findings at the 245th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in National Harbor, Maryland.

A paper led by Meyer describing the radio results was published Jan. 13 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

 

After the outburst, the black hole appeared to return to a quiet state, with a lull in activity for nearly a year.

But by April 2023, a team led by Sibasish Laha at UMBC and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, had noted a steady, months-long increase in low-energy X-rays in measurements by NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer) telescope on the International Space Station.

This monitoring program, which also includes observations from NASA’s NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) and ESA’s (European Space Agency) XMM-Newton mission, continues.

 

The increase in X-rays triggered the UMBC team to make new radio observations, which indicated a strong and highly unusual radio flare was underway.

The scientists then began intensive observations using the NRAO’s (National Radio Astronomy Observatory) VLBA (Very Long Baseline Array) and other facilities.

The VLBA, a network of radio telescopes spread across the U.S., combines signals from individual dishes to create what amounts to a powerful, high-resolution radio camera.

This allows the VLBA to detect features less than a light-year across at 1ES 1927+654’s distance.

 

Radio data from February, April, and May 2024 reveals what appear to be jets of ionized gas, or plasma, extending from either side of the black hole, with a total size of about half a light-year.

Astronomers have long puzzled over why only a fraction of monster black holes produce powerful plasma jets, and these observations may provide critical clues.

 

“The launch of a black hole jet has never been observed before in real time,” Meyer noted.

“We think the outflow began earlier, when the X-rays increased prior to the radio flare, and the jet was screened from our view by hot gas until it broke out early last year.”

A paper exploring that possibility, led by Laha, is under review at The Astrophysical Journal.

Both Meyer and Megan Masterson, a doctoral candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge who also presented at the meeting, are co-authors.

Using XMM-Newton observations, Masterson found that the black hole exhibited extremely rapid X-ray variations between July 2022 and March 2024.

During this period, the X-ray brightness repeatedly rose and fell by 10% every few minutes.

Such changes, called millihertz quasiperiodic oscillations, are difficult to detect around supermassive black holes and have been observed in only a handful of systems to date.

 

“One way to produce these oscillations is with an object orbiting within the black hole’s accretion disk. In this scenario, each rise and fall of the X-rays represents one orbital cycle,” Masterson said.

If the fluctuations were caused by an orbiting mass, then the period would shorten as the object fell ever closer to the black hole’s event horizon, the point of no return.

Orbiting masses generate ripples in space-time called gravitational waves. These waves drain away orbital energy, bringing the object closer to the black hole, increasing its speed, and shortening its orbital period.

 

Over two years, the fluctuation period dropped from 18 minutes to just 7 — the first-ever measurement of its kind around a supermassive black hole.

If this represented an orbiting object, it was now moving at half the speed of light. Then something unexpected happened — the fluctuation period stabilized.

 

“We were shocked by this at first,” Masterson explained. “But we realized that as the object moved closer to the black hole, its strong gravitational pull could begin to strip matter from the companion.

This mass loss could offset the energy removed by gravitational waves, halting the companion’s inward motion.”

 

So what could this companion be? A small black hole would plunge straight in, and a normal star would quickly be torn apart by the tidal forces near the monster black hole.

But the team found that a low-mass white dwarf — a stellar remnant about as large as Earth — could remain intact close to the black hole’s event horizon while shedding some of its matter.

A paper led by Masterson summarizing these results will appear in the Feb. 13 edition of the journal Nature.

 

This model makes a key prediction, Masterson notes.

If the black hole does have a white dwarf companion, the gravitational waves it produces will be detectable by LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna), an ESA mission in partnership with NASA that is expected to launch in the next decade.

Ghost Riders in the Sky: Firefly's Blue Ghost mission to the moon set to launch from KSC

Updated 7:06 p.m. ET Jan. 13, 2025

 

Ghost Riders in the Sky is what Firefly Aerospace and NASA are calling a mission set to launch to the moon this week, delivering 10 science and technology instruments onto the lunar surface.

Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander is set to launch no earlier than 1:11 a.m. Wednesday from Florida's Kennedy Space Center. The lander will be launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Pad 39A.

 

"2025 is definitely going to be an exciting year for lunar science," said Joel Kearns, deputy associate administrator for exploration in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters during a late December NASA press briefing.

"NASA is contracting with American companies to take NASA scientific experiments, engineering tests and technology demonstrations from the Earth to the Moon, land them on the Moon, and then send our science data back to Earth," said Kearns.

This is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative.

 

Simply put, NASA is working with private space companies to deliver science and technology payloads to the moon. Odysseus lunar lander, built by Intuitive Machines, was also part of that effort.

Odysseus launched last February, making it to the moon before tipping over on the lunar surface. Last January, Astrobotic's Peregrine robotic lander malfunctioned in space, never reached the lunar surface, and burned up in Earth's atmosphere.

 

It will take 45 days for Firefly's Blue Ghost on its cruise to the moon. According to Firefly, this will allow for health checks and the beginning of science work.

It will reach the moon in early March, landing at a location known as Mare Crisium, which is a 300 mile-wide crater. According to Ryan Watkins, program scientist with Exploration Science Strategy and Integration Office at NASA headquarters, this mission "will allow NASA payloads to gather critical data about the moon's regolith, the geophysical characteristics, and interactions of solar wind and earth magnetic fields."

 

The science payloads will run for an entire lunar daytime, which is 14 days on Earth. This is the amount of time in the moon's orbit around Earth when sunlight is continuously reaching the lunar surface.

By contrast, a lunar night is when the moon falls in the Earth's shadow. Lunar nighttime lasts for around 14 days as well. A full lunar day is approximately 28 days.

During the lunar sunset, the Blue Ghost lander will capture an image of the sunset, providing a look at how the lunar regolith is impacted by the Sun's influence at dusk.

 

The Firefly Blue Ghost lander is a bit bigger than the average car, measuring 6.6 feet-tall and 11.5 feet-wide.

Firefly's website describes the Blue Ghost lander as "designed to stick the landing with shock absorbing feet, a low center of mass, and a wide footprint."

 

It will be carrying 10 payloads as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services, which include science and technology from different NASA centers, aerospace companies such as Blue Origin and Aegis Aerospace, universities, and research centers. These include:

Stereo CAmera for Lunar Plume-Surface Studies (SCALPSS) - NASA Langley Research Center

Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE) - Italian Space Agency (ASI) and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) - NASA Kennedy Space Center

Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) - Boston University, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and Johns Hopkins University

Lunar Magnetotelluric Sounder (LMS) - Southwest Research Institute

Lunar Instrumentation for Subsurface Thermal Exploration with Rapidity (LISTER) - Honeybee Robotics (Blue Origin)

Lunar PlanetVac (LPV) - Honeybee Robotics (Blue Origin)

Regolith Adherence Characterization (RAC) - Aegis Aerospace

Next Generation Lunar Retroreflector (NGLR) - University of Maryland

Radiation Tolerant Computer (RadPC) - Montana State University

 

Blue Ghost will not be the only payload atop this Falcon 9 rocket. Sharing the ride to the moon will be HAKUTO-R Mission 2 for Japanese aerospace company, ispace.

The mission is the company's lightweight lander known as RESILIENCE, which also aims to land on the moon, deploy a micro rover named TENACIOUS, and collect regolith samples. It is the company's second attempt after a failed effort in 2022.
