At first, Yuanming Wang was not excited. More relieved, maybe. The first -year astrophysics PhD student at the University of Sydney sat in front of her computer, looking at images in which she’d found the signs of radio waves from distant galaxies twinkling, just as she had hoped. But because Wang’s discovery relied more on scouring ones and zeros than peering through a telescope—and the discovery itself was just plain weird —it took awhile for the moment to hit. Radio wave “twinkling,” known as scintillation, happens when the radio signals from sources like stars and black holes get interrupted as they stream toward Earth. Detecting scintillation from distant galaxies is very rare. Only a tiny fraction of the night sky will yield these signals, and most telescopes are unable to capture variations on such fast timescales. But Wang found hallmarks of scintillation from six galaxies at once. And five appeared to be separate galaxies in a tight, straight line. "I realized, OK, so … [Read more...] about Twinkling Black Holes Reveal an Invisible Cloud in Our Galaxy

ROCHESTER police will not be charged in the death of Daniel Prude, a mentally ill Black man officers were seen on video placing a hood over his head as they pressed his body into the ground. Prude, 41, died in March days after his encounter with police was written off as a "drug overdose." However, after body camera footage worn by the officers was made public, outcries began over the police cover-up and potential killing of Prude. A grand jury declined to indict the officers even after New York Attorney General Letitia James put together what she considered the strongest case possible, but said the jury could not be persuaded the officers had committed a crime. It was only six months after Prude's death that the video was made public, with pressure calling for the officers involved to be disciplined for their actions. James was apologetic she could not push the jury to charge the officers. "I know that the Prude family, the Rochester community and communities across … [Read more...] about Daniel Prude verdict – Jury won’t indict Rochester cops over fatal ‘spit hood arrest’ of ‘mentally ill’ black man, 41
