Amazing how you find all this great info. Here is a new Cambridge link which should impress you:

When it comes to understanding the sciences behind these things, it's my mind that's a black hole. But, it's still fascinating- the information that is,not my mind...
The top picture looks like my eyes on a Saturday morning!
Saw this early this morning and I was too groggy to comment. Do you know what implication the spinning has? NewScientist has a good article on how IceCube on the South Pole will be looking for Dark Matter in Black Holes.
It's fascinating to observe these wonders of power.
Just think, these are wonders discovered with the puny technology we have now.
Isn't the universe expanding? Like a sort of slow motion explosion. And aren't black holes sort of eating their surroundings? I'm not sure how those two things reconcile with each other but it's certainly fascinating stuff, thanks Q9, fab pictures.
Can you imagine getting up with a hangover to pictures of a rapidly spinning black hole? Things are spinning fast enough already.
Dr John asks a good question.
The eye of the Tiger ...
I was going to say that that first picture reminded me of the "Badlands" in the Star Trek universe, but I think Vi vi vi voom!'s observation was probably better. (It's certainly less geeky...)
Georgia O'Keefe.
That's what the first pix reminds me of.
One of her paintings.
Hola, Q!
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
The top image looks to me like a wise, all-knowing eye observing all that transpires in that "sphere of influence."
i wonder if Chandra will become the new Ashley or whatever the most popular name might be in coming years...
Hi Elle,
I'm a little short of time to catch up with my favourites never mind find new reads, but once I'm back on track with my regular visits I'll certainly have a look
Hi Cindy,
part science part theory, part speculation - the cosmos is an enormous universe of 'dark' mystery.
lol va va voom,
well it must have been some Friday night,
if that's what your eyes are like on a Saturday morning.
Hi Fernando,
Thanks for the link!
So how's the new year treating you
Hi dad2059,
what shall we compare cosmic forces to
a tsunami sweeping away an ant colony
a hurricane buffetting a beehive
a volcano burying a city in lava & ash
And even then we are still only looking at a fraction of what something like an exploding star can do, and the enormous forces involved in a 'churning' universe of dense visible matter and unseen dark matter.
Philipa,
it's all sort of like swiss cheese
and boy, does it make great Pizza
lol Dr John,
well the room often seems to spin
after a night out with the lads
Hi Abigail,
it certainly looks like night vision eyes
lol Moody Minstrel,
It is all in the 'eye' of the beholder
Hi Hill,
long time no see
and a Happy New Year to thee & thee
Hi alex,
It may well be so.
Never say never, as they say.
Hi San,
it's doing a bit more than 'observing'
it is radically changing its environment and immediate surround, radically turning matter from what it was into what it will be.
Hi Candoor,
who knows in the end
what Chandra and the Universe shall become.
