One of the not-so-great joys of my new trailer is that it came with an infestation of black widow spiders. We would open the galley, and there one would be: black, and shiny, with horribly pointy legs and a big, fat abdomen. picked by bornbad 5 months ago

You have probably seen the grey, no doubt you have heard of or read about the red. But have you ever heard of a black squirriel? The subgroup is on the rise. If an animal was a meme, this would probably be it. A real one, that is. The Black Squirrel, coming to a back garden near you soon(ish)…. and it may have dandruff. picked by bingo 6 months ago

No black cat will cross your path this Halloween, not if a northern Idaho animal shelter can help it. Like many shelters around the country, the Kootenai Humane Society in Coeur d'Alene is prohibiting black cat adoptions from now to Nov. 2, fearing the animals could be mistreated in Halloween pranks — or worse, sacrificed in some satanic ritual. picked by tlovesd 3 years ago

IT IS the ultimate cosmic villain: space and time come to an abrupt end in its presence and the laws of physics break down. Now it seems a "naked" black hole may yet emerge in our universe, after spinning away its event horizon. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago

Researchers from Duke University and the University of Cambridge think there is a way to determine whether some black holes are not actually black. Finding such an unmasked form of what physicists term a singularity "would shock the foundation of general relativity." picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

You wouldn't want to eat one, but you might take comfort in the new knowledge that a black hole and its surrounding material take the shape of a doughnut regardless of the mass of the black hole itself. picked by AutumnLotus 12 months ago

Falling into a black hole might not be good for your health, but at least the view would be fine. A new simulation shows what you might see on your way towards the black hole's crushing central singularity. The research could help physicists understand the apparently paradoxical fate of matter and energy in a black hole. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

Researchers finally have strong evidence for the existence of a binary black hole system, a long-theorized result of galactic mergers that features two black holes orbiting around each other at the center of large galaxy.

The black holes are expected to merge in what astronomers figure would be one of the most energetic events in the universe. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

The new method to create a tiny quantum sized black hole would allow researchers to better understand what physicist Stephen Hawking proposed more than 35 years ago: black holes are not totally void of activity; they emit photons, which is now known as Hawking radiation. picked by kakana 3 months ago

Some of the biggest black holes in the nearby Universe may be much larger than previously thought.

A reassessment of the monster hole at the core of the M87 galaxy suggests it could have 6.4 billion times the mass of our own Sun. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

McCullough and Jerry Wilson, pastor of Freedom Missionary Baptist Church, said they got involved after parents came to them complaining that their kids were cut from the team earlier this month.

“We have racial profiling going on,” McCullough said, adding that’s the only explanation in his mind.*
