We started this account less than 6 months ago. It's going pretty well – thanks to you: 4.2k followers, lots of interactions, questions, and comments. 🎉

A couple of weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) asked us to write a guest article about our experience with #Mastodon / the #Fediverse, explain the basics, and point out the advantages.

Challenge accepted. 👍

So here's the finished post by @lxplm, hot off the #blog press. ⌨️

Wonder of Science Jan 10, 2024

The astonishing scale of supermassive black holes, with masses ranging from 100,000 to over 60 billion times our Sun's. This visualization compares the sizes of black hole shadows to solar system objects, featuring giants like Sagittarius A* in the Milky Way and the colossal TON 618.

NASA Scientific Visualization Studio | NASA Animation Sizes Up the Universe’s Biggest Black Holes

All monster black holes are not equal. Watch this video to see how they compare to each other and to our solar system. The black holes shown, which range from 100,000 to more than 60 billion times our Sun’s mass, are scaled according to the sizes of their shadows – a circular zone about twice the size of their event horizons. Only one of these colossal objects resides in our own galaxy, and it lies 26,000 light-years away. Smaller black holes are shown in bluish colors because their gas is expected to be hotter than that orbiting larger ones. Scientists think all of these objects shine most intensely in ultraviolet light.

So if they find certain seeds have a "short" shelf life will they be updated on a schedule in the seed vault in the arctic?
