Astronomers May Have Seen Colliding Black Holes Trigger a Blaze of Light : ScienceAlert
A brief blaze of gamma and X-ray light that lit up Earth telescopes in November 2024 may have come from an unexpected source.
Just a few seconds earlier, from the same tiny corner of the sky, LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA had detected the telltale

Prehistoric plant produces water that looks like it came from space
Water drawn through the hollow stem of a living Equisetum plant, horsetail, has registered the most extreme oxygen isotope signature ever measured in any terrestrial material.
That discovery stretches the known chemical limits of Earth’s water…

Neutron star’s collision with a black hole took a strange path
When a black hole and a neutron star spiral toward collision, theory predicts that their orbit should become almost perfectly circular before the final impact.
Gravitational waves steadily drain energy from the system, tightening the orbit and…
