Gas-churning monster black holes

NASA Space Technology Scientists using observations from NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have discovered, for the first time, the signal from a pair of monster black holes disrupting a cloud of gas in the center of a galaxy."It's a very weird event, called AT 2021hdr, that keeps recurring every few months," said Lorena Hernández-García, an astrophysicist at the Millennium Institute of Astrophysics, the Millennium Nucleus on Transversal Research and Technology to Explore Supermassive Black Holes, and University of Valparaíso in Chile. "We think that a gas cloud engulfed the black holes. As they orbit each other, the black holes interact with the cloud, perturbing and consuming its gas.

NASA faces disruptive presidential transition

NASA Space Technology WASHINGTON — The upcoming presidential transition will be unlike any other in recent history at NASA, thanks in large part to the potentially disruptive influence of Elon Musk, warned veterans of past transitions.During a panel at the Beyond Earth Symposium here Nov. 12, representatives of past transitions by both parties said that the incoming Trump administration could scrutinize key aspects of NASA, including its approach to human spaceflight, to accelerate progress or reduce costs.A key factor will be the influence of Musk, who endorsed Donald Trump during the campaign and has reportedly been advising Trump in the days since the Nov. 5 election. “I do think that the change that he is going to bring to this administration will be like nothing that we have seen before,” said Lori Garver, who served...
