Sleeping giant surprises Gaia scientists
Wading through the wealth of data from ESA’s Gaia mission, scientists have uncovered a ‘sleeping giant’. A large black hole, with a mass of nearly 33 times the mass of the Sun, was hiding in the constellation Aquila, less than 2000 light-years from Earth. This is the first time a black hole of stellar origin this big has been spotted within the Milky Way. So far, black holes of this type have only been observed in very distant galaxies. The discovery challenges our understanding of how massive stars develop and evolve.

ESA astronaut class of 2022 graduation ceremony
Video: 00:01:00
As they reach the end of one year of rigorous basic astronaut training, ESA astronaut candidates Sophie Adenot, Rosemary Coogan, Pablo Álvarez Fernández, Raphaël Liégeois, Marco Sieber and Australian Space Agency astronaut candidate Katherine Bennell-Pegg will receive astronaut certification at ESA’s European Astronaut Centre on 22 April 2024.
The group was selected in November 2022 and began their training in April 2023.
Basic astronaut training provides the candidates with an overall familiarisation and training in various areas, such as spacecraft systems, spacewalking, flight engineering, robotics and life support systems, as well as survival and medical training.
Following certification, the new astronauts will move on to the next phases of pre-assignment and mission-specific training, paving the way for future missions to the International Space Station and beyond.
Join us for the graduation ceremony live on ESA Web TV on Monday 22 April from 10:00 – 11:30 CEST.

Galileo, how you’ve grown!
Today Galileo is the world’s most precise satellite navigation system, delivering metre-level accuracy, and if you are a modern smartphone owner then you – like nearly four billion others around the world – are among its users. This week we are celebrating that almost exactly a decade ago, on 12 March 2013, Europe for the first time ever was able to determine a position on the ground using only its own independent navigation system, Galileo.

Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #astrochemistry, #astrophysics, #climate-science, #climatescience, #exoplanets, #planetary-science, #planetaryscience, and #science. Thanks for the invite, @Welcome Diasporg!
Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #cats, #comp-sci, #genealogy, #math, #progressive-and-liberal-politics, #psychology, and #science. Thanks for the invite, @Welcome Diasporg!
Third time is the charm. Not really #newhere, but after #joindiaspora and #Anjara pods closed, I was invited to Diasp.org by @V. T. Eric Layton. Thanks for the invite!
Looking forward to settling down here.
You will see posts about:
#science #philosophy #music (specially #jazz and #FrankZappa ) #fermentation (specially #WaterKefir and #sourdough ) #HigherEducation #Amsterdam #TheNetherlands (or #Nederland in the local language) plus some #randomthoughts . I have lately been getting into #psychiatry and #criminology has always been an intellectual interest for me. I am of course a user of #Linux but I am not that tech-savy. I do know #R because I teach #statistics . I am also interested in #SASS if you know what that means. I am probably forgetting stuff, but that is enough for now :)
Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #astronomy, #science, and #sciencefiction. Thanks for the invite, @Muse!
I used to have an account on joindiaspora.com which was shut down. I even had an account on pod.js.im which seems to have disappeared. I decided to rejoin diaspora because Twitter was recently purchased by some guy who doesn't seem to have the best interest in the public square aspect of it. So I'm glad that this exists. Thanks again!
