Chandra X-Ray Observatory

A Quick Look @ Triplet Black Holes

Published 25th September 2019

Three supermassive black holes are on a collision course, captured by telescopes on the ground and in space.

The system where this triple black hole merger is happening, called SDSS J0849+1114, is located about a billion light years from Earth.

To make this discovery, astronomers combined data from telescopes on the ground as well as several in space including Chandra, Hubble, WISE and NuSTAR.

Scientists have seen multiple cases where two supermassive black holes are collision course.

This latest result, however, is the best evidence yet for a trio of giant black holes.

Astronomers think these triplet collisions, while extremely rare, play a critical role in how the biggest black holes grow over time.

A Tour of Triplet Black Holes

Published 25th September 2019

Three giant black holes have been spotted within a titanic collision of three galaxies. This discovery was made using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes both on the ground and in space.

To uncover this rare black hole trifecta, researchers first needed information from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope in New Mexico that scans large swaths of the sky in optical light. With the help of citizen scientists across the globe as part of the Galaxy Zoo Project, the system known as SDSS J0849+1114 was tagged as a system of colliding galaxies.

Then astronomers turned to infrared data from NASA's WISE mission, which revealed that the system was glowing intensely in the infrared during a phase in the galaxy merger when more than one of the black holes is expected to be feeding rapidly. To follow up on these clues, astronomers then turned to Chandra and the Large Binocular Telescope, or LBT, in Arizona.

The Chandra data revealed X-ray sources — a tell-tale sign of material being consumed by the black holes — at the bright centers of each galaxy in the merger, exactly where scientists expect supermassive black holes to reside. Chandra and NASA's NuSTAR also found evidence for large amounts of gas and dust around one of the black holes, typical for a merging black hole system.

One reason it is difficult to find a triplet of supermassive black holes is that they are often shrouded in gas and dust, and this blocks much of the light from the regions around them. The infrared images of WISE, the infrared spectra from LBT and the X-ray images from Chandra bypass this issue, because infrared and X-ray light pierce clouds of gas much more easily than optical light.

Astronomers think these triplet collisions, while extremely rare, play a critical role in how the biggest black holes grow over time. Because of that, they will continue to use Chandra and other telescopes to search for these important systems.

Geomagnetic Storms Headed For Earth

Published 26th September 2019

In early September, a large hole in the sun's atmosphere firehosed Earth with solar wind, sparking sparking geomagnetic storms and auroras in more than a dozen US states. After a one-month trip around the sun, it's back.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the same hole facing Earth yesterday. Solar wind is emerging from it faster than 700 km/s. Estimated time of arrival: Sept. 27-28. NOAA forecasters say that G1- and G2-class geomagnetic storms are possible when the gaseous material arrives.

Broadcast & Published 26th September 2019

In today's image we see the waning crescent moon as it rises. Only a small portion of the moon is directly illuminated by the Sun, the remainder is being illuminated by earthshine - sunlight reflected off the Earth - to the moon and back to the Earth. This gives us a faint illumination of the portion of the moon that would otherwise be invisible at this phase.

This amazing meteor overflew the Mediterranean Sea on 2019 September 25 at about 01:59 local time (equivalent to 22:59 universal time on September 24). It was generated by a rock from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 140,000 km/h. It began at an altitude of about 108 km over the sea, and ended at a height of around 60 km.

Aloof Aliens

Published 26th September 2019

Discussion of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations often hinges on the idea that they may have ascended to a higher state or higher level of reality, and lost interest in us and the rest of the galaxy. While we can't know what technologies or enlightened paths they might have available, we can ask how realistic the portrayals of those aliens might be, and if this notion make sense as a Fermi Paradox solution.

The Gralien Report

Dr. Brian Keating | Life Beyond: SETI & Animal Anomalies

Broadcast 16th & Published 27th September 2019



On this edition of the program, news of a mysterious rash of earthquakes in a small Southern town has many locales wondering what might be rumbling below. However, it has Micah asking whether anybody in the affected area has been looking up… we also touch on a recent confirmation provided by the U.S. Navy to researcher John Greenewald about unusual objects depicted in three pieces of footage its fighter pilots obtained… and which apparently were never meant to be released to the public.

Then Micah recaps his recent trip to the Marion, North Carolina Sasquatch festival, where a variety of local art, crafts, and colorful characters were all on display, in tribute to America’s most famous (and reclusive) hairy biped. We cover some of the events, as well as the claims by the research community present at the event, before shifting our attention over to the subject of “alien big cats”, involving sightings of large, black cats in various parts of the Americas. In fact, Micah was recently treated to a remarkable story by a man who shared not only one, but two sightings of large black cats resembling melanistic jaguars or cougars in parts of rural Western North Carolina. Could there really be exotic looking large cats that range further north into parts of the United States?

Then in hour two, after touching on the exciting discovery of a new interstellar object that may have entered our solar system, Dr. Brian Keating of the Simons Observatory joins us to discuss his passion for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), which he explains as being not merely the search for aliens, but the quest to find evidence of their techno-signatures, which may help astronomers finally prove that sophisticated alien technologies may exist in our universe. In addition to his views on the SETI program, Dr. Keating also gives us his views on the so-called “Sagan Effect”, many problems with science and the peer review process, and an update on the forthcoming Nobel Prize season, a topic covered in his book Losing the Nobel Prize: A Story of Cosmology, Ambition, and the Perils of Science’s Highest Honor.

On this week's episode of "Edge of Reality Radio," Lee Speigel returns from a trip to New Mexico where he visited the massive historical library and collection of UFO information created over a 30-year span by acclaimed author and researcher David Marler. Citing tens of thousands of international files, pictures, films, newspaper accounts, audio recordings and previously unseen documents confirming decades of official UFO government and military interest in the subject, Marler will offer credible UFO stories - still unexplained -- that didn't get the media attention they deserved.
