That should be "Black Hole Brightens in Galactic Core". Don't post before morning coffee. Bad idea.

Yeah, I was waiting for that one. I think they oughta change the name of the satellite now. I LIKE those charming unpronounceable acronyms.

The montage of Chandra images from a couple days ago is my wallpaper of the day. Very colorful.

No, no!

That's no longer the Politically-Correct bleeding-heart term of choice.

The proper name, using current PC terminology, would be:

"hole-of-color"

Thanks for not posting it under "Breaking News". This had to happen, what, 50,000 years ago? Cool Post.

I understand they are trying to get the white dwarves to pay reparations.
