Birth of black hole witnessed, marking watershed moment for astronomy (video)

The virtual impossibility of observational astronomy has never been clearer.

When Apple announced the iPhone 5s last week, it made a lot of noise about the 64-bit architecture of the phone’s new A7 chip.

Graphene is incredibly thin and light, and prevents all but the smallest molecules from passing through it (it’s an excellent water filter, for example). Condoms, though an excellent barrier against unwanted contaminants, are neither thin nor light — which is why they reduce sensation, and why some people really don’t like wearing them...
