    Supermassive black hole discovery from deep in space

    A statement from NASA:

    “An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have uncovered a supermassive black hole that has been propelled out of the centre of the distant galaxy 3C186. The black hole was most likely ejected by the power of gravitational waves. This is the first time that astronomers found a supermassive black hole at such a large distance from its host galaxy centre.”

    There are multiple theories.. perhaps two black holes combining..
    But what is amazing: The galaxy, 8 billion light years away (meaning 8 billion light years in the past), is featuring something amazing.. a discovery to change science–something that seemingly happens daily.
    At the speed the black hole is traveling: It could be from Earth to the moon in three minutes..

    SPACEX BEGINS SPACE TOURISM IN 2018!

    The two private citizens — who have not been named — approached SpaceX about the trip, according to a statement from the company. The individuals will be the only crew members on board what is expected to be about a week-long trip around the moon, according to Musk, who spoke with reporters during a phone conference today. The names of the two individuals will be announced later pending the result of initial health and fitness tests, the statement said.

    European Space Agency’s Gaia satellite has been used to create the most complete sky map of all time.

    The mission, launched in 2013, has been collecting data for just a year and is not yet complete. But scientists have already used its findings to catalogue more than a billion stars in and around the Milky Way and plot the positions and motion of some 2 million of them.

    Mission scientists said at a news conference on Wednesday that Gaia was on track to chart a full atlas of over a billion stars by the end of 2017.
