I miss the astronomer guy on Reddit who would explain every one of these posts
Edit: Turns out she's the one who made this discovery! Here's her post
https://www.reddit.com/r/Andromeda321/comments/164n35e/i_have_discovered_that_up_to_half_of_all_black/
Oh shit this is her discovery? Nice. I always loved her stuff on astronomy and her takes on trollx
Andromeda321? Wonder if they're here in some related name? Appears not yet.
See my edit
Yeah that was the name, right
I wonder if she is on Lemmy. I hope she is.
I am hoping for a shittymorph crossover
Maybe like a shitty shittymorph who would throw mankind into the thing...
I felt so happy for her when she announced her phD. Sheβs the one I miss too.
See my edit
Oh that's cool. If her colleague is right, they found a natural particle collider. It would have many times the energy of the LHC too
Many times is a severe understatement. A supernova is also many times more powerful than a firecracker.
Could black hole near misses by stars possibly have fused some elements which novas can't explain?
I wonder how they know it is the same material being ejected as they saw initially.
It's the headline that's slightly miss leading, the only event that happened prior, was the star getting 'eaten'. Other sources have been ruled out
I imagine they don't actually know if it's the same material. What they can say is that a certain amount of material was ejected, that correlates with certain properties of an observed amount of material that went in. Realistically though, it's all hydrogen and helium and is one atom of the same thing really that different from another?
Andromeda is a lady.
Yes, you do notice I used 'she' in my edit after I found out...
Sorry. When I posted you hadn't edited it on my screen so I wasn't sure if you knew.
Ah I see. No worries, cheers!
"it's not time dilation"
"It's not coming from the event horizon"
That is amongst the biggest bummers of my life
My edibles kicked in halfway through that post. Mind blown...
this edit made me smile. good for her!
