Sound On 😭😍🐈

The Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a “sneaky” black hole that was revealed in a tidal disruption event, where a hapless star was ripped apart and swallowed in a spectacular burst of radiation.

Unlike previously observed tidal disruption events, which took place in the center of a galaxy, this event was thousands of light-years from its galactic center. This is the first offset tidal disruption event captured by optical sky surveys, and it opens up the possibility of uncovering an elusive population of “wandering” black holes with future surveys: https://bit.ly/4j51XYo

Thank you.

I will keep that in mind.

So... You're the Star Eater, huh?

@obscyra1

What exactly are your intentions with my friend, Sun?

Solar Eclipse here, by the way.

I'm sure he's mentioned me.

Really?

That would be greatly appreciated. I am curious about your food.

Hi there!

Do you know anything about cookies?

Do you know what flavor cookie you'd be if you were a cookie ???

Hello.

I have never heard of cookies before. But I am guessing it is some kind of food.

Hmm...

I wonder what I would taste like @insults-by-sun

I've observed you from your interactions with Sun.

Some things... just get logged c:

Have you browsed his blog yet?

I have not...

But you've made me curious now.

Does frozen water exist around other stars? For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope has provided proof that it does. Webb detected water ice around HD 181327, a Sun-like star that lies 155 light-years away. (The term water ice specifies its makeup since other molecules, like nitrogen, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide, are also identifiable in their frozen states.)

Water ice isn’t “everywhere” in this system. The largest quantity (about 20%) is found where it’s coldest and farthest from the star.

Astronomers have long expected water ice to be in other star systems, partially based on previous detections of its gaseous form, water vapor, and its presence in our own solar system—but until now it wasn’t confirmed: https://webbtelescope.pub/42Vopw0

I see...

Hm... I suppose I have never paid attention, as I, myself, have never felt the need or desire to perform such act.

*Obscyra looks pensive for a moment*

[Sun² approached Obscyra and urged him to sit down. They were both situated in the garden. It was well past breakfast and the children were playing with the cats.]

Obscyra.. these.. acts aren't simply things others do for reproduction.

They are, for some, a natural progression of .. affection. Of preference for one another.

To experience one another in pleasure and vulnerability. It's trust, love and .. sharing of passion.

For some, I suppose, it's strictly pleasure. Because it does feel physically pleasurable. I'm not of that ilk, and value it as an expression of adoration, but it still exists as such.

Have you never seen biologically incompatible creatures "procreate" before but still seem to feel satisfied without any egg taking root?

Maybe I'm the one who has to pay his rent for being in his house 🐱🐈
