Discussions about space exploration and tech. Ad astra!
Space is so fascinating I wish to go there one day 😊
A lone black hole has been confirmed for the first time ever. This is when a black hole is discovered without a companion star nearby. Scientists got lucky that this black hole passed by another non-companion star, which allowed them to see it. https://phys.org/news/2025-04-astronomers-lone-black-hole.html
Only 124 light years away? I'm boarding my ship now!

Sounds like it's an interesting find but the researcher may be overhyping its significance and adding their own hypothesis about the conclusion. If it is a 3 sigma result that holds up to scrutiny for those 2 chemicals, what it means is there's an abundance of them thousands of times greater than Earth's atmosphere has (assuming more readings are taken and they also find it). So yes it could be life-filled oceans or it could be some other process we aren't familiar with, and considering the proposed amounts I'm not sure it makes sense to assume life is the most probable source. But it's interesting either way and I agree with you about life generally, so we'll see!

the fram2 mission is the first splashdown where astronauts exited the dragon capsule with no external crew help. this shows new levels of design maturity + crew autonomy — key progress for moon and mars missions.

thefram2 crew successfully splashdown this morning at 09:19 am pst/ 12:19 pm est off the coast of coeanside, ca, usa
it marks the first west coast splashdown for spacex dragon and the start of many more on west coast and the crew exited the vehicle unassisted after being in microgravity with their 35+ pound space suit.
