Working together as a 'virtual telescope,' observatories around the world produce first direct images of a black hole

An international team of over 200 astronomers has captured the first direct images of a black hole. They accomplished this remarkable feat by coordinating the power of eight major radio observatories on four continents, to work together as a virtual, Earth-sized telescope.

This is very cool that we finally have direct images of a black hole.

    I saw the picture of this and I found it very interesting because I thought that finding an image of a black hole would be nearly impossible because they absorb all light around them.

    I looked at the picture on the website and thought it was cool that an image of the black hole could be created from over two hundred astronomers across the globe. It shows that people all around the world can work together in order to produce something magnificent.

    Black hole, more like butthole!
    Seriously though, its really cool that science has come this far. Soon enough, we might be able to explore black holes, and isn't that a crazy thought.

    With the technology that we have produced to be able to see other things and be able to see other planets and possibly even to see other civilizations

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
