Mallory was born Mallory Claudine Meryl on April 17th, 1887 to a middle class family of nine children (not including her) on a small farm in Naarden, the Netherlands. And all her life, she’d have a view of the sky. The sky was bright and beautiful due to the lack of light pollution, and it filled her with wonder.  She was the fourth child of all her siblings, and was closest to her twin sister, Mercy. Their father, Edward, was emotionally abusive, and sexually abusive to Mallory.  Their mother, Dolores, though strict, was kind and supportive.  Edward was Romany, and Mallory’s family was most invested in that culture, while Dolores was Dutch.

Soon after, their father died from heart trouble, leaving their mother to raise her nine children alone as a widow. Their mother then immigrated to New Orleans when Mallory was 12 with only four of her children, Mallory, Mercy, Imogen (her older sister), along with their younger sister, Hester. Mercy passed away on the ship there, leaving Mallory, Hester, Imogen, and Dolores together. Hester was nine. (Don’t worry, the rest of her siblings were in the Netherlands with Dolores’ family). On the ship to get to New Orleans, Mallory charted the stars, and wrote a paper on the changes at just twelve years old, creating a theory that the constellations change based on location.

The trip took a month, but they made it. To make money for the family, Mallory took many jobs, while Dolores went through a downward spiral of Alzheimer’s. During this time, Mallory and Hester became acquainted with the Hartfelt family (Alastor’s family) through work. Mallory became especially close to Adelice, and met Alastor along the way. Mallory worked on the same gator farm as Alastor, and quickly grew a reputation for beating the living shit out of anyone who pissed her off. Turns out, she could hurt people bad if they insulted her. It was mostly for racism (she was still a ‘Gypsy’) and sexism, and she would beat up anyone. Though, she sometimes beat up people to protect Alastor and his siblings.

Dolores passed away when Mallory was 17.  And during the years following, Mallory obtained a house and raised Hester until she was grown.  Mallory lost touch with Adelice, but kept in touch with Alastor, and they wrote letters to each other all through Mallory’s time in university.  Mallory received two PhDs. One in physics, and the other in astronomy.  She had become an astronomer, and a victim of racism and sexism.  So, she just beat them all up, and even killed a few, and she kept this up until her death. Mallory and Alastor became closer however when Alastor became more famous in New Orleans, and they made the effort to spend time together. So, around when Mallory was in her early thirties.

Their relationship was different, it was weird. It was like platonic friends with benefits. They were both aroace, but they’d seen each other naked, and they hung out and slept over each other's houses often.  They would dance together (Mallory could dance, and she often did so because of her culture).  Mallory had met Mimzy, Mimzy was quite fond of her, but Mallory just didn’t like her as much.  Mallory was also motherly (slightly), so it provided Alastor some comfort.  But Alastor was cheery, and was like Mallory’s light at the end of the tunnel.  They kissed… Maybe once? Who knew, but Mallory was Alastor’s first kiss. Mallory had already had sex and all that while figuring herself out (NOT WITH ALASTOR THAT MAN IS A VIRGIN💀), and soon realized she didn’t want anything and didn’t feel anything (aroace but it’s the 1920s so…). Their song would be either ‘I’ll Never Smile Again’ or ‘My Blue Heaven’.

Mallory created three major theories, and was always documenting her works. Turns out, she proposed the black hole idea first (it’s an AU I wanted to have fun :o). 

When Alastor died, Mallory fell into depression.  She didn’t have that same company she used to, and it stung.  His funeral was difficult, and she cried a lot.  Mallory murdered the bastard who killed Alastor to give her some spark but… It didn’t work.  She felt more empty.  But soon, she died as well from bludgeoning. A man who was jealous of Mallory’s success beat her to death with her telescope after Mallory invited him over to discuss theories. Mallory didn’t have the energy she used to have, and didn’t fight back. 

—

When she went to hell, she acquired power rather quickly (not as quickly as Alastor of course).  Her physical fighting skills gained her fear, and soon, souls were sold to her, and she gained magical powers as well.  Mallory was an overlord by now, and was known as ‘Our mother Neptune’. And 30 years later, Mallory was reunited with Alastor. They began a queer platonic relationship (they didn’t call it that they were still in denial about their sexuality). More romantic and/or ‘sexual’ things in their relationship (not really but they began experimenting).

Используя радиотелескоп Аресибо в Пуэрто-Рико, исследователи впервые обнаружили повторяющиеся короткие вспышки радиоволн, идущие со стороны загадочного источника, который, вероятно, находится за пределами нашей галактики Млечный Путь.

Эти находки указывают на то, что эти “быстрые радиовспышки” (БРВ) исходят от чрезвычайно мощного объекта, который временами разражается множественными вспышками, происходящими в течение менее чем одной минуты.

До этого открытия, как сообщается в журнале Nature, считалось, что БРВ представляют собой разовые события. Поэтому во многих теориях предполагалось, что происхождение этих таинственных импульсов связано с космическими катаклизмами, в результате которых происходит разрушение источника вспышки. Получается, что источником могла бы быть, например, звезда, взрывающаяся как сверхновая, или нейтронная звезда, коллапсирующая в черную дыру.

Однако согласно результатам нового исследования, проведенного группой ученых во главе с Лорой Спитлер (Laura Spitler) из Радиоастрономического института Макса Планка в Бонне, Германия, эти космические события могут иметь иное происхождение, например, происходить в результате формирования экстремально ярких импульсов сверхмощной вращающейся нейтронной звезды.

Ученые считают, что обнаруженные ими множественные радиовспышки исходят из далеких галактик, на что указывают измерения так называемого эффекта рассеяния плазмы. Суть этого эффекта состоит в том, что при прохождении радиоволн сквозь вселенную на их скорость оказывают влияние электроны межзвездного пространства, причем большее влияние они оказывают на радиоволны низких частот. Из десяти обнаруженных исследователями радиовспышек все вспышки имели уровень рассеяния, в 3 раза превосходящий таковой для источников, расположенных на самом дальнем от Земли крае Млечного Пути.
