Is the University Of Austin Betraying Its Founding Principles?
Created as a haven for free thinkers, UATX was the last place where I’d expected to encounter ideological litmus tests.

For the first time, a tidal disruption event (where a supermassive black hole tears apart a star) has been detected outside the centre of its host galaxy. This suggests that galaxy has two supermasive black holes, with the second likely being left over from a merger with another galaxy 🧪🔭
Not one, but two massive black holes are eating away at this galaxy - Berkeley News
UC Berkeley astronomers found a stealth black hole that is a companion to the massive black hole in the galaxy’s core. One day, the two might merge and produce a ripple of gravitational waves.
