(1) NGC 6956 barred spiral galaxy exists 214 million light-years away in the constellation Delphinus. (2) Interacting galaxies known as AM 1214-255 containing active galactic nuclei, or Agnes aka an extraordinarily luminous central region of a galaxy where its extreme brightness is caused by matter whirling into a supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s heart.

Supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies, and modern telescopes continue to observe them at surprisingly early times in the universe's evolution. It's difficult to understand how these black holes were able to grow so big so rapidly. But with the discovery of a low-mass supermassive black hole feasting on material at an extreme rate, seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, astronomers now have valuable new insights into the mechanisms of rapidly growing black holes in the early universe. LID-568 was discovered by a cross-institutional team of astronomers led by International Gemini Observatory/NSF NOIRLab astronomer Hyewon Suh. They used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe a sample of galaxies from the Chandra X-ray Observatory's COSMOS legacy survey.

I had a revaluation last night, so i drew it. Headcanon explanation at the bottom. (P.s. this is the first and last time I'm drawing Cygnus. He's got too many damn gears to draw for my liking.)

Okay, so last night I was thinking about stuff and a thought came to mind, "What was the first discovered black hole?" And it turns out to be the Cygnus X-1, in the Cygnus constellation (which I assume Cygnus is named after). Though not a supermassive black hole, it's a solar-mass black hole.

Which means that it and it's companion star HDE 226868 create a binary system (which means they orbit each other). And I thought that describes what Cygnus and Leda do in "In Your Eyes" they circle around each other. And since X-1 is a black hole, it's slowly sucking in its star over time.

This gave me the idea that Cygnus helped Leda become The Night Swan because he needs Leda to help him make all of the Danceverse crumble. Sucking all the danceverse into a singularity, and once that's done he'll take her with it.

That's why, in Beggin, he wants her to come back and love him. Cause even though he absorbs her in little ways in the way that she's changing Eternyx and the danceverses every day, she's out of reach for him to suck her back in.

This also works in the idea that Leda, like the myth she's named for, is getting seduced by a swan into doing something she shouldn't. (Cygnus being the swan constellation)

You don’t have to do this if you don’t know the music, but could you possibly do prompts based on Muse (the band) songs? If I’m requesting wrong I’ll send another ask, my apologies ^^;

It’s oh-so-easy to be mesmerized by this spiral galaxy known as NGC 4254. Follow its clearly defined arms, which are brimming with stars, to its center, where there may be old star clusters and, sometimes, active supermassive black holes. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope delivered highly detailed scenes of this spiral galaxy in a combination of near- and mid-infrared light.

more tre shounen manga chapter covers!

some notes: 1. xu da's blade here is the dadao, or the big sabre. i swear this isn't a pun, it's different da characters. 2. the background is refencing a specific early 13th century painting, ma yuan's 'scholar viewing a waterfall'. (go look at the original, zoomed in, at the met museum site). 3. the abacus and the suanpan coexisted historically across the world from each other, but if one inspired the other is unclear (according to my shoddy research)

close enough, welcome back twilight.

A feast devoured by a supermassive black hole a billion light-years from Earth has revealed how fast that black hole spins on its axis. Changes in the flare of light as the black hole woke up and fed were created by a disk of material that whirled and wobbled – and that wobble has given us the spin speed of the black hole at its center, say a team led by astrophysicist Dheeraj Pasham of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It's the first time scientists have been able to calculate the spin speed of a black hole based on its wobbling accretion disk – giving us a new tool for understanding the strangest, densest known objects in the Universe.
