Something something … Yo Mama!

Scientists have supposedly spotted a Black Hole and a Neutron Star getting it on.

“Gravitational-wave hunters may have spotted their most exotic quarry yet. On 14 August at 5:10:39 p.m. EDT, a trio of gigantic detectors in the United States and Italy detected a pulse of gravitational waves—ripples in space itself—apparently set off when a black hole and a neutron star spiraled into each other about 900 million light-years away. Observers had previously spotted numerous mergers of black holes and one merger of neutron stars, but never a combination. The new find could give new insights into neutron stars, which are made of the densest matter in the cosmos.”Science Mag

That's pretty cool... and terrifying all at once. We are so **** tiny in this universe. I'm waiting on someone smarter and more powerful to come take us over and hopefully keep us from self destructing.
 
Holy beejeesit batman! I can't even imagine the scales and diversity of radiation that must be around that event horizon.
