For about two hours, a bubble of extremely hot electrons whirled around the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole at 30 per cent of the speed of light, and then it was destroyed.

Look! Astronomers find a hot ball of plasma circling the Milky Way’s massive black hole
This bubble takes just about an hour to whip around a black hole.
This bubble that circles the event horizon of Sgr A takes just 70 minutes to whip around the black hole. It was observed by the Event Horizon Telescope.
Sailing Light to an Asteroid NEA Scout with Les Johnson
Sailing on light pressure to Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) 2020 GE NEA Scout will be the first mission to use solar light as propulsion to reach a destination in space. It will be launched to the moon by NASA’s Artemis I Space Launch System rocket and sail from there to the asteroid. Learn about this exciting mission directly from Dr. Les Johnson, the Principal Investigator of the light sail.

Satellite Confirms the Principle of Falling
The MICROSCOPE satellite experiment has tested the equivalence principle with an unprecedented level of precision.
At an early age, we have all been taught one of the most counterintuitive facts about the physical world: two objects of unequal mass dropped in a vacuum will reach the ground simultaneously. Galileo allegedly tested this equivalence principle from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, and so did the astronaut David Scott by dropping a hammer and a falcon feather at the surface of the Moon in 1971. And yet, we may find these observations disconcerting, as common sense would tell us that a heavier object should fall faster than a lighter one. But gravity is a peculiar interaction. To understand this force—and what it might tell us about other mysteries, such as dark matter and dark energy—we need to test it with ever-increasing precision. The new results by the space-borne MICROSCOPE mission have done just this.
Astronomers can now predict an oncoming supernova just a few years in advance
We’re looking at you, Betelgeuse.
A team of astronomers believes they have found an effective method for predicting a supernova, a report from Space.com reveals. While stars do expand to massive sizes and become red giants before their demise, we have had no way of knowing how long it will take for a red giant to go supernova. It could take hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years.
All of that has just changed though, thanks to a team of astronomers that has devised a method for spotting stars that are likely to supernova within only a few years — a tiny fraction of time in the context of astronomy.

The discovery of the Higgs boson ten years ago in the Large Hadron Collider was the culmination of decades of work and the collaboration of 1000s of brilliant and passionate people. It was the final piece needed to confirm the standard model of particle physics as it now stands. There are still many outstanding questions — for example, it seems like nothing in the standard model can explain what dark matter is. So the discovery of the Higgs wasn’t the end of particle physics — but it may be the way forward. Many physicists think that the secret to finding the elusive dark matter particle will come by studying the Higgs. In fact, the first tantalizing evidence is already in.
