✨️ Supernova Remnant × Black Hole ✨️
SS433 is just that:
a black hole about ten times the mass of our sun & it's devouring the remnants of a large nearby star. [Njoom].
In a single year, it steals the equivalent of about 30 times the mass of Earth of material, which makes it the greediest black hole known in our galaxy!
It’s even stealing more material than it can consume.
Some of the excess stellar material gets blown off the disk & forms two hemispheres on opposite sides of the disk.
Within each one is a cone-shaped void that opens up into space. These are the cones that corral the high-energy X-ray light into beams (blue & purple) also called jets.
SS433 is located 18.000 light-years away from Earth & can be found in the Supernova Remnant Westerhout 50 or W50 in the constellation Aquila. It's also called Manatee Nebula.

Psst hey guys hey I've been meaning to write this kind of post for such a long time (since TPOT 2), and I finally did! Black Hole is disabled—his entire arc (and it's possible resolution) is predicated on that fact. This is like,,,my most favorite thing I've ever written ever please read if you want/can

Oh wait i just realized that Knives infamous disembowelment scene during July flashback was spaghettification, that occurs with stellar black holes but with supermassive black holes something called blueshift that's originally redshift but changes when the light from the universe comes at you from a breakneck speed and becomes such a high energy that you'll be fried, and, uh, guess what happens to Knives in Stampede? With steller black holes, you'll be ripped apart, with supermassive black holes, you'll be fully intact but vaporized. I just think it's cool that they used realistic black hole physics for Vash's powers in both the manga and tristamp.

you. individual with masters degree on astrophysics. what are your thoughts on Christopher Nolan's hit film Interstellar
I liked it!! I'm always a slut for sci fi movies that have slow wide shots of space and futuristic/alien looking planets and ships (Blade Runner, Arrival and Dune come to mind as well).
The visuals of the black hole were incredible, the fact they created new CGI software just to get the physics behind it right too?? Good shit. Did you know 3 scientific papers were published as a result of this CGI bc it revealed new things abt black holes irl? We love to see it!!
I actually liked the ending too. We have no clue how it would be like inside a black hole so yeah why couldn't it take you back in time? And inside a bookshelf? Sure it was weird but like, that's the point!!
I alsoo rlly like that the effects were actually done FIRST and they filmed with the effects behind the actors rather than using green screens and adding them after. The TV show 1899 does something similar and I feel it's more effective with the lighting and looks more natural.
Overall, 8/10! I liked it a lot, the music is gorgeous (very important to me) and I would recommend it to others :]

My brain hurts, but-
THE MOST POWERFULL ERUPTION FROM A BLACK HOLE EVER HAS BEEN SEEN!!!
This is SDSS J1531, a massive supercluster of galaxies.
In the centre, approximately 3.8 billion light-years away, two of the biggest galaxies of the clusters are colliding, which ALSO means their supermassive black holes will merge & they have a lot of material to feed on, which leads to many radiation bursts.
The images made by ChandraX, LOFAR & Hubble show the close-in view of the centre of the two colliding galaxies.
The "beads"
It is theorized that the black hole eruption is responsible for the creation of 19 star clusters because it pushed the hot gas away from the black hole, creating a cavity, which can be seen in the zoomed in picture with the blue dots (X-Ray), that look like wings.
It's thought that tidal effects from the two merging galaxies compressed the gas alongside these "wings," leading to this "beads on a string"-pattern.
I know it has been a while since my last infodump & I am truly sorry. It's kind ot hard to exist but I'll bravely continue to do so.

been thonking... wonder if i could get away with fusing my extinction headworld/lore with my broken horizon headworld/lore since the main focus of both of them is dragons.
pros: many dragons to interact with each other. a world on the scale of what i originally envisioned for both stories
cons: there is some conflicting lore :( and i would like the extinction chars to keep the focus on gladiator fighting, while also keeping the other ocs focus on exploration and flight racing

Okay this is a little bit of a weird one but hear me out here: Do you remember that bit at the beginning of 13 where Kitty gets stuck in the 'Unworld'??? I've seen some aus where Danny's like the GZ incarnate but what if he was the Unworld incarnate instead?? I just think it'd be really cool because it's this in-between/'other' dimension and embodying that could really come with some eldritch properties. Plus when he was caught in the portal he Was kind of stuck between the GZ and the living realm so it could make sense!!

Reading through NatGeo, found an article on colossal gravitational waves, and immediately thought of you and the palmer station au.
But, scientists have have detected low-frequency gravitational waves with a wavelength so long it would takes years to decades for travel from crest to crest. They think it was caused by two supermassive black hole binaries.
i LOVE gravitational waves. i think Einstein predicted their existence back around the 1910s but it took until the 70s to develop instruments capable of truly measuring them. like black holes they’re quite harmless to us, but where supermassive black holes hoard everything about themselves from us - light not quick enough to escape to our eyes - gravitational waves are what they can’t help but give, despite their nature.
we talk about the beauty of small things a lot when we talk about the universe, but there’s beauty, too, in that which is incomprehensibly big, so much so that they, in turn, become like the smallest things. explosions that can touch us clear across the cosmos, but the remnants are a thousand billion times fainter than what caused them. yet still detectable.
i think beatrice would love that. explaining it to lilith by dropping a pebble into a cup of still water, so the ripples fan out to the sides and “okay, but imagine the cup has no sides. the ripples would travel in all directions, moving beyond our ability to perceive them but still there. imagine if i dropped a pebble into the ocean here and they felt it on mars.”
trying to explain it to ava who keeps interrupting her tongue into bea’s mouth
ava: so these binary neutron stars or supermassive black holes or whatever are locked together in like,.. an embrace?
ava: i get it, like an orgasm but REALLY big
and beatrice rolling her eyes like “ava i know you have a master’s degree in mathematics.”

It's cool how seeing content by a creator that That One Person got you into makes you feel like your heart is being ripped out of your chest and you're on fire and you're collapsing into yourself and forming a black hole. And by cool I mean it fucking sucks.
