(14 Jul) Merger of two massive black holes is one for the record books

The event resulted in a new black hole with a mass 225 times larger than our Sun.

The effect of gravitational lensing can probably also be achieved if you look deep into the glass. But if you look too deep into the glass, the effect seems to evaporate and you don't get to the hoped-for closer insights.. But sometimes it's just the way it is, who cares? Cheers!

HerS 020941.1+001557 is the designation for a very distant galaxy that appears as a dramatic #Einstein #Ring due to a phenomenon called #Gravitational #Lensing.

Its light, emitted 11 billion years ago, has been bent and magnified by the gravitational field of a closer, massive elliptical galaxy (SDSS J020941.27+001558.4) located between HerS 020941.1+001557 and Earth.

Massive Gas Giant Planets Locked in a Gravitational Struggle

A team of astronomers have discovered a rather curious exoplanetary system that has two gas giant planets that are messing up each other’s orbit! On of them is 3.8 times the mass of Jupiter and completes an orbit every 82 days, the other is just 1.4 Jupiter masses. Hiding in the wings is another mini-Neptunian … Continue reading "Massive Gas Giant Planets Locked in a Gravitational Struggle"

Evolutionarily conserved brainstem architecture enables gravity-guided vertical navigation

What are the neural circuits that transform gravity signals into neuronal signals for navigation? This study describes a sensorimotor circuit that transforms gravitational signals into persistent heading for vertical navigation, showing how vestibular inputs allow animals to move effectively through their environment.

Sunday afternoon gravitational wave. Both @LIGO detectors and the Virgo detector have today identified another gravitational-wave candidate.

S241110br – if real – originates from the merger of two black holes at a (luminosity) distance of around 2.9 billion light-years.

The direction of origin could be narrowed down to an area of 244 square degrees. This corresponds approximately to the area of 1100 average full moons.
