Our galaxy contains millions of small black holes, and our universe is home to many supermassive black holes. But what about black holes "in between"?

Using Hubble, astronomers may have found evidence for an elusive intermediate-mass black hole: https://go.nasa.gov/3or3vVv

This is what Ron DeSantis wants for America: 🖕🏽
“I will sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concepts of sex and gender transitions at any age. I will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female, and they are assigned at birth.”

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have come up with what they say is some of their best evidence yet for the presence of a rare class of "intermediate-sized" black hole that may be lurking in the heart of the closest globular star cluster to Earth, located 6,000 light-years away.

Calling @histodons and #museum professionals, esp.

I received a nifty grant to travel with 12 Colgate Univ #museumstudies students in January 2024. 5 days in DC and 3 days in NYC.

I've got a rough itinerary planned: combo of art, history, and natural history/science.

I'm very eager to make contact with curators, educators, and others working in museum spaces to give these students a great experience and hopefully some behind the scenes access.

Seeking contacts and tips!
