Milky Way’s Central Black Hole Brightens

Tuan Do (UCLA) and colleagues have caught an unprecedented boost in the glow coming from gas just outside our galaxy’s central black hole, Sgr A*.

The uptick appeared in infrared images taken this past spring with the Keck II Telescope on Maunakea, as part of the UCLA Galactic Center Group’s ongoing monitoring of Sgr A*. The increase is twice as bright as anything observed from the black hole since astronomers first detected variations in its light in 2003. Thus, it’s hard to reconcile as a random blip.

It might be that Sgr A* is chomping down on an extra helping of hot gas, perhaps dished up from its surroundings by the gravitational consequences of the star S2’s close pass in 2018, or by that of the dusty object G2 in 2014. The team continues to watch the black hole to see whether the increase in activity continues.

The result appears in the September 10th Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Illustrating Batman – 80 years of comics and pop culture

The Society of illustrators / Museum of Illustration
Have an exhibition on the illustrations and collectables for the comic book hero Batman. The Museum of illustration exhibits (3 different exhibits) are spread out over 4 floors of the building. Starting from the late 1930’s to modern times we witness the evolution of Batman. Original artworks and cartoons are hanging off the walls displayed by different time periods ( or evolution periods) of the hero. We can see this over the different decades, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and of course the 60’s evolution from the tv series. The more recent decades are also covered in the exhibition.

Than there is the Chip Kidds obsessive collection of Batman material also on display. This includes the limited editions (2006 & 2013) Batman Black & White sketch covers commissioned by Chip Kidd.

The third exhibition is the original artwork of Japanese Bat-Manga! The artwork by illustrator Jairo Kuwata brings a completely different outlook on the comic book hero. This is the first time that a a substantial portion of the original artwork has been shown in North America.

Canada Post today issued two commemorative stamps celebrating the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 mission that landed humans on the moon for the first time – and the Canadians who helped make it possible.

On July 20, 1969, more than half a billion people around the world were transfixed by grainy black and white television footage of astronaut Neil Armstrong taking humankind’s first steps on the moon. The mission was a giant leap for human space exploration and featured significant Canadian ingenuity and innovation. Canadian engineers working at NASA, and a company based in Longueuil, Quebec, that built part of the lunar lander, were instrumental in making the mission a success.

Tatiana Maslany teases new ORPHAN BLACK announcement for Thursday

Tatiana Maslany teases new ORPHAN BLACK announcement for Thursday

To determine that a certain person is an alcohol deeprootsmag.org purchase cialis online addict, there are signs and symptoms that must be seen. Erectile dysfunction has never been more widely publicized in our society yet ironically it is still sildenafil cipla difficult for couples to discuss with each other. This drug does not protect against viagra samples in canada sexually transmitted diseases. This tells us that most of these issues levitra 60 mg relate to their sexual health.

Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany has teased a major new announcement related to the show to be made this Thursday (13 June).

Orphan Black ran for five seasons from 2013 to 2017 and told the story of a group of clones, all played by Maslany, who were trying to figure out where they came from. The show attracted critical acclaim for the way Maslany differentiated the four core clone characters (Sarah, Alison, Cosima and Helena) and another half-dozen or so minor clones from one another, and for how the show featured the clones in the same scene. Maslany won an Emmy Award for Best Actress (Drama) in 2016 for her multiple performances.

The show did attract some criticism for the corporate/government espionage/conspiracy storyline, which grew quite convoluted and stretched before it was finally resolved. The creators have teased a spin-off show for some time, but the suggestion was that this would not be related to the main series and would not feature Maslany.

It’s unclear what this announcement could allude to, but it could be confirmation of the spin-off series or maybe a stand-alone TV movie featuring Maslany reprising some of the clone roles.
