The rumblings of a black hole in the Perseus galaxy is 57 octaves below middle C. For comparison, a typical piano has 7 octaves. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory was used by NASA in the discovery of the black hole in 2003. The black hole they recorded is 250 million light years away from…
The 10-metre wide, helium-filled inflatable turbine, called the Airborne Wind Turbine (AWT), is able to produce more than twice the power that a conventional tower turbine can generate at the same height. Prototype by Altaeros Energies, a wind energy company formed out of MIT
This is a huge breakthrough for 2 reasons:
- The higher the altitude, the stronger the winds! As you get farther from the land the wind finds less resistance and goes at higher speeds which only means more power.
- This allows unprecedented mobility and flexibility to wind farms. You could practically chase the wind. Moreover, it would let you prevent major damage to your wind farm in case of hurricanes or severe storms. You would just have to ground your turbine-blimps and the next day you would be operating like nothing happened.

I’ll replicate the universe — ever last bit of it,
each star, galaxy and satellite — on my
skin. Starting with my fingertips, I’ll paint
the constellations and the planets aligned.
The cosmos will slither across my hand and
snake up my arm. The Milky Way will bleed
across my chest into Andromeda. I’ll carve
Orion in over my fluttering heart. Glittering
stars will stand in for the freckles on my
face, and shooting stars make up for scars.
And nebula will skirt my legs and celestial
bodies sandal my feet.
With everything I’ve ever known (and so much
more) mapped out, I should have no
problems, none at all, finding my
way back to you.
