Prime Day sees some pretty tempting deals and discounts on science gifts, but is it worth waiting for Black Friday to potentially save even more?

There is a 50% chance that global warming will consistently exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius in the next six years, according to a new report.

Melissa Gilbert shared details of some of her unforgettable moments with director and producer Michael Landon before he passed away. Melissa played the role of Laura Ingalls in the Little House on the Prairie, where Michael starred as her on-screen father. Little House on the Prairie premiered in September 1974 when the actress was nine. The emotional bond between Melissa and Michael developed during the production of the popular show from 1974 to 1983 and continued even after the series had ended. She noted that Michael often went the extra mile to put a smile on the faces of the cast, and he provided strong emotional support for her when her biological father passed away when she was eleven. Melissa Gilbert shares childhood memories with Michael Landon Melissa Gilbert and Michael Landon/Everett Recalling the generosity Michael Landon apparently could display for his peers, Melissa Gilbert shared that he would sacrifice his own pay to give everyone gifts. “Every year for NBC, he would announce the Rose Parade and instead of taking a payment for that, he would use that money to buy the cast and crew Christmas presents,” she recounted. “So he sacrificed his New Year’s Eves, basically, to be at the Rose Parade at 3 a.m. so that he could give us all really amazing Christmas presents.” In an interview with PEOPLE, Melissa described the memories of Michael that had stayed with her from childhood. She shared that his generosity extended far beyond the screen as he was a father figure to her in real life. She particularly cherished holidays and vacations with Michael and his family in Hawaii. However, Michael’s kindness was not limited to Melissa, he also had the initiative of presenting gifts to the cast and crew during Christmas. Melissa had “so much to say” about the iconic actor. She recalled Michael’s efforts to always make her cheerful on set. And when the shocking news of his pancreatic cancer reached Melissa, she never hesitated to pay him a visit at the hospital with her little son. Despite Michael’s struggle with the illness, Melissa noted that he still knew how to make her laugh and was enjoying life at his best. Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert and Little House on Prairie co-star Melissa Gilbert is dedicated to preserving Michael Landon’s legacy Michael’s courage and hope of quick recovery was uplifting. However, the actor passed away at 54, some months after sharing news of his health issues with the public. The pain of losing another person who played an important role and served as a father moved Melissa. But she was thankful to her family and friends who stood by her during the period of grieving, which enabled her to provide relief to Michael’s family as well. Melissa Gilbert and Michael Landon/Instagram Currently, Melissa has a brand that funds research for pancreatic cancer. She also helps request funds from the government to support research and raise awareness about the disease. The 60-year-old is dedicating her quest for cancer research to her late on-screen father and another dear friend she lost to the same disease. She shared that her aim is to ensure that others do not suffer from it.

The theory goes that black holes accrete material, often from nearby stars. However the theory also suggests there is a limit to how big a black hole can grow due to accretion and certainly shouldn’t be as large as they are seen to be in the early Universe. Black holes it seems, are fighting back and don’t care about those limits! A recent study shows that supermassive black holes are growing at rates that defy the limits of current theory. Astronomers just need to figure out how they’re doing it!  Black holes usually form from the collapse of a massive star. The origin of their larger cousins, the supermassive black holes found at the centre of most galaxies, remains a mystery. Theories suggest they grew over billions of years by consuming stars, gas and maybe even other black holes. Others suggest they formed from the primordial conditions of the early Universe or maybe from dense clusters of hot young early stars. The immense gravity from them plays a significant part in shaping stellar formation and the evolution of their host galaxy. If a supermassive black hole is actively accreting material, they are often seen as quasars, extremely luminous objects that are visible across million, even billions of light years.  Illustration of a powerful black hole and its magnetic field. Credit: L. Calçada/ESO A recent discovery by a team of astronomers revealed a low-mass supermassive black hole that was devouring material at an extreme rate. The black hole is at a distance that means we are seeing light as it was 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. This means we can learn about the processes that govern these objects when the Universe was a lot younger.  The black hole known as LID-568 was detected by a team of astronomers led by the International Gemini Observatory/NSF NOIRLab astronomer Hyewon Suh. It was detected in images from the James Webb Space Telescope following on from assessment of galaxies from the Chandra X-ray Observatory’s COSMOS legacy survey. The galaxies observed are bright X-ray sources but not visible in optical or near-infrared surveys. The team used JWST’s NIRSpec instrument that is capable of getting a spectrum off each individual pixel in its field of view.  The Gemini North telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea (Gemini Observatory/AURA) The study allowed the team to make the rather unexpected discovery of immense flows of gas out from the region around the centre of the black hole.  Suh and team could infer from this that a significant fraction of the growth of LID-568  may well have occurred in one single rapid accretion event. They calculated that it must be feeding on matter at a rate which is 40 times the Eddington limit. The limit relates to the maximum luminosity it can achieve acknowledging there is a balance between the outward force of radiation and the inward force of gravity. When the two forces balance, it is known as hydrostatic equilibrium. If an object exceeds the limit then an immense outward force will result in it losing mass. When the luminosity of LID-568 was calculated it was much higher then should be theoretically possible.  The discovery provides an excellent opportunity for astronomers to study black holes in the early Universe and in particular those that challenge the Eddington limit theory. It would however suggest that the outflows of energy are acting to release energy that has built up during extreme accretion periods. Follow up observations are required.  Source : NSF NOIRLab Astronomers Discover the Fastest-Feeding Black Hole in the Early Universe The post Early Black Holes Fed 40x Faster than Should Be Possible appeared first on Universe Today.

Filmmakers love New Zealand. Its landscapes evoke other worlds, which explains why so much of The Lord of the Rings was filmed there. The country has everything from long, subtropical sandy beaches to active volcanoes. The country’s otherworldliness extends into its atmosphere, where a cloud nicknamed the “Taieri Pet” forms when conditions are right. The Taieri Pet is a lenticular cloud, a stationary type of cloud that forms in certain circumstances. They form in the troposphere when the wind blows over an obstacle, typically a mountain range. There are three types: altocumulus standing lenticular (ACSL), stratocumulus standing lenticular (SCSL), and cirrocumulus standing lenticular (CCSL). Each type forms at a different altitude. When the wind is forced to move up and over an obstacle, it creates a lower-pressure zone on the leeward side. As the wind moves, it creates standing waves. If conditions are right, these waves become visible when the moisture condenses. The Taieri Pet forms over New Zealand’s Rock and Pillar Range in the Strath-Taieri region of Otago on New Zealand’s South Island. The Otago region on New Zealand’s South Island is home to the Taieri Pet. Image Credit: Peetel, (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International.) The cloud is a common feature near the town of Middlemarch. It’s mentioned in newspapers as far back as the 1890s. Locals sometimes took Taieri Pet’s appearance as a signal that a storm was coming. This page is from the Otago Witness, Issue 2226, 29 October 1896. It describes the Taieri Pet as “our old prognosticator,” because it forms before a wind storm. Image Credit: No Known Copyright. The Operational Land Image (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured this stunning image of the Taieri Pet in September. Landsat 8 follows a polar orbit that allows it to observe the entire surface of the Earth every 16 days. This zoomed-in image shows the cloud and the surface in more detail. The image shows the Macraes Mine, New Zealand’s largest gold mine. Image Credit: NASA/Lauren Dauphin; USGS The Landsat satellites have been monitoring Earth for over 50 years from their orbit 705 km above us. The images and data are widely used by scientists, but they’re also beautiful portraits of our extraordinary, once-in-a-solar-system planet. Anybody can enjoy the Landsat galleries, found here.
