Jack Dorsey doesn’t eat anything on Friday or Saturday. Every other day of the week he eats exactly one meal, usually some sort of protein with a salad or green vegetables.

“Black hole sun, won’t you come?” Soundgarden asked that question in 1994, which is a pity.

Later that same day, an AP photographer captured a second photo of a black hole, not from billions or even millions ago — it was an abyss captured today, though it has certainly […]
On Wednesday, April 10, 2019, we (on Earth) all saw the first-ever picture of a black hole (in space, I think). Cool! There it is, up there. The hole, that’s black. This huge, dark, gaping void is over 50 million light years away and contains the same mass as 6.5 billion suns. Also cool! “Stars, […]
