Gravitational Waves Reveal Black Hole Ancestry Through Spin Analysis
A study published in Physical Review Letters explores how gravitational waves reveal the ancestry of black holes. By examining 69 black hole mergers, researchers found that spin shifts indicate repeated collisions in dense star clusters. This insight supports models suggesting black holes grow through sequential mergers. Observatories like LIGO and...

ESA Uses Solar Orbiter to Turn Solar Flares into Sound, Offering New Insights
The European Space Agency (ESA), in collaboration with NASA, has used data from the Solar Orbiter mission to convert solar flares into audible sound. By mapping solar flare data into blue circles and pairing them with tones, a new way to experience solar activity has been created. This process is linked to the sun’s 11-year solar cycle, with curr...

Ancient Bronze Age Settlement Discovered in Caucasus Mountains Using Drone Mapping
In the Caucasus Mountains, drone mapping has uncovered Dmanisis Gora, an ancient settlement dating back over 3,000 years. The project, led by Dr. Nathaniel Erb-Satullo and Dimitri Jachvliani, employed drones to capture high-resolution images of the site, revealing a vast defensive wall, graves, and other structural remains. The discovery challenges...
