Probably my favorite part of the pilot episode of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda was the ROGUE BLACK HOLE (sketchy within-ship time dilation antics aside)!
It's Black Hole Friday!
Let's celebrate it with some music from the BLACK HOLE SYMPHONY, where science meets art in an immersive production from the Museum of Science, Boston and Multiverse Concert Series.
The composition features sonification of the light from the accretion disks of black holes as musical notes and chords. https://youtu.be/RUHeaNO7Na8 #BlackHole

Here is some background on the Black Hole Symphony by David Ibbett, composer and visiting professor at Berklee College of Music and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He explains the process of turning light emitted at various frequencies by the accretion disks of Black Holes into a symphony teeming with joyful sound. https://youtu.be/S0yxrSa7KQM #BlackHole

29 Oct – 4 Nov. This week in science: ‘touching’ a quantum superfluid, stunning Crab Nebula views, brain-boosting wasabi, and we can feel light touches through our hair! #TWIS🧊🔭🐟🧠🌌🤏
"Let's Do the Twist"
Fifty-five million light-years away, in the galaxy known as M87, lies a supermassive black hole. The radio image captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) provides direct confirmation that the black hole rotates.
A new study published in "Nature" has given us more rotational evidence, but also questions what exactly causes the black hole to precess.

#Harvard 📆 October 11, 2022 : Some spaghettified material occasionally gets flung out back into #space 🌌. #Astronomers liken it to #BlackHoles ⚫ being messy eaters — not everything they try to consume makes it into their mouths.
But the emission, known as an outflow, normally develops quickly after a #TDE occurs — not years later.
