Is the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way (SagA*) spinning? And how fast? It's tricky to know how fast a black hole is spinning without an accretion disk, but astronomers can estimate using polar outflows of material streaming from the black hole. Researchers observed the region around SagA* with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and estimated that it is spinning. In fact, it's spinning as quickly as the laws of physics will permit.

New research shows how intelligent life might expand in an ever-expanding Universe, which has serious implications for SETI and the fate of our civilization.

Checking out the October Hunter's Full Moon this coming weekend? This Full Moon is also special, as it features the final eclipse of 2023. The eclipse is a partial lunar, and occurs on the night of Saturday/Sunday, October 28th/29th.

An international team of scientists used topographical data of the Moon's southern polar region to determine the optimal routes for Artemis and other astronauts to follow during EVAs.
