NASA just saw something come out of a black hole for the first time ever

You don’t have to know a whole lot about science to know that black holes typically suck things in, not spew things out. But NASA just spotted something mighty strange at the supermassive black hole Markarian 335.

Two of NASA’s space telescopes, including the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), miraculously observed a black hole’s corona “launched” away from the supermassive black hole. Then a massive pulse of X-ray energy spewed out. So, what exactly happened? That’s what scientists are trying to figure out now.

“This is the first time we have been able to link the launching of the corona to a flare,” Dan Wilkins, of Saint Mary’s University, said. “This will help us understand how supermassive black holes power some of the brightest objects in the universe.”

NuSTAR’s principal investigator, Fiona Harrison, noted that the nature of the energetic source is “mysterious,” but added that the ability to actually record the event should provide some clues about the black hole’s size and structure, along with (hopefully) some fresh intel on how black holes function. Luckily for us, this black hole is still 324 million light-years away.

So, no matter what strange things it’s doing, it shouldn’t have any effect on our corner of the universe.

So you’re pressed for time and want your shiny wig to look more matte because it is kind of bothering you how unnaturally shiny it is.

The wig I’m using is the Eowyn by Arda in Princess Pink. I put it on today to see how the color would look for the cosplay I got it for (Anemone from Eureka SeveN) and if i needed to add some more color or not etc etc (i do I think but. that’s a story for another day - otherwise it’s an ALMOST perfect wig in my opinion). When I put it on I felt a little queasy - the fibers were fantastic, the parting was phenomenal - a good, quality, Arda wig. But it was so SHINY??! At least for MY taste. I prefer my cosplay wigs to look like they do in the anime or manga - matte, sculpted, cartoony almost. It probably has most to do with the color of course, but I still had to do something about it.

Not long ago I discovered a phenomenal method of making a wig appear more matte by sheer dumb luck. And now, after testing it on 3 other wigs to be sure it actually works - I pass this tutorial on to everyone out there with $4.50 to spare (if you use 40% joann or michaels coupons that is which you should be doing anyway this is COSPLAY guys)
