Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (5/06/2025): The Doubly Warped World of Binary Black Holes
Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 May 6 https://www.youtube.com/embed/rQcKIN9vj3U?rel=0 The Doubly Warped World of Binary Black Holes Scientific Visualization Credit: NASA, GSFC, Jeremy Schnittman & Brian P. Powell; Text: Francis J. Reddy Explanation: If one black hole looks strange, what about two? Light rays from accretion disks around a pair of orbiting supermassive black holes make their way through the warped space-time produced by extreme gravity in this detailed computer visualization. The simulated accretion disks have been given different false color schemes, red for the disk surrounding a 200-million-solar-mass black hole, and blue for the disk surrounding a 100-million-solar-mass black hole. For these masses, though, both accretion disks would actually emit most of their light in the ultraviolet. The video allows us to see both sides of each black hole at the same time. Red and blue light originating from both black holes can be seen in the innermost ring of light, called the photon sphere, near their event horizons. In the past decade, gravitational waves from black hole collisions have actually been detected, although the coalescence of supermassive black holes remains undiscovered.

Fw: The Voice¡¯ Season 27 Episode 13 recap: MAY 5
From: Sharon Pohlman Who do you have picked this season win? ¡®The Voice¡¯ Season 27 Episode 13 recap: Michael and John narrow their teams from 5 to 2 in ¡®Playoffs Part 2¡¯ John Benutty Reality TV May 5, 2025 The Voice Season 27 continued the "Playoffs" stage of the competition on Monday. In this round, each coach brings their team of five to the stage for a single performance that will determine which two move on the live shows. By the end of the round's 20 performances, only eight artists will remain in the competition. Mega Mentors Sheryl Crow and LeAnn Rimes assisted Team Michael Bubl¨¦ and Team John Legend in the rehearsals leading up to the May 5 episode. On the April 28 "Playoffs Premiere" episode, Kelsea Ballerini moved forward with Alanna Lynise and Iris Herrera for the live shows. Adam Levine advanced Kolby Cordell and Lucia Flores-Wiseman as the representatives for his team. Team Bubl¨¦ The five performances for Michael's team were Kaiya Hamilton singing "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" by Sting, Angie Rey with "How Do I Live" by LeAnn, Jadyn Cree doing "99 Red Balloons" by Nena, Barry Jean Fontenot on "Until I Found You" by Stephen Sanchez, and Adam David performing "I Shall Be Released" by Bob Dylan. During rehearsals with Sheryl, they helped Kaiya rework the song away from the original version into more of her own style, urged Angie to get "out of your head" because it was noticeable and convinced her to do the chorus in Spanish, and thought Jadyn returned to the roots of 80s punk with her "unique" sound. Sheryl wanted Barry to approach the song with "tenderness and urgency" and helped Adam know how to confront stage fright. After seeing the final stage performances, the other coaches gave Michael advice to aid in his decision. Adam was "amazed" by Kaiya's rendition and gave her the "most improved player award" and Kelsea said she "ate and left no crumbs." John thought Angie achieved a song that requires "pipes," Adam liked Jadyn because she's "good old fashioned pop rock," Kelsea sees the confidence growth in Barry and how he "believes he's supposed to be here," and Adam admitted the coaches that didn't turn for him originally messed up.Michael challenged Kaiya with the song he gave her and commended her for being "brave" enough to take it on "flawlessly." He told Angie that he was happy to get to work with her for the first time and gave her best performance, Jadyn that she has an immediately recognizable voice and "star quality," Barry that he worked hard on everything they discussed in rehearsal about confidence, and Adam that he is truly an artist because he's "authentic." Based on those impressions, Michael decided to stick with Adam and Jadyn for the live shows Team Legend The five artists on Team Legend were Bryson Battle with "pov" by Ariana Grande, BD.ii on "All My Life" by K-Ci & JoJo, Olivia Kuper Harris performing "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish, Ari Camille doing "Rain" by SWV, and Renzo singing "Too Sweet" by Hozier. Getting to see them at rehearsal, LeAnn thought Bryson was on the cusp of "understanding his range" and helped him open up his vocal more, wanted BD.ii to "project out" and then helped him "beef up" his falsetto, advised Olivia to be "vulnerable" in her physicality because it wasn't working when thy could see her acting, and wanted Ari to bring more sensuality and complimented her "raspiness." LeAnn liked how "hard" into rock Renzo was taking his song. Following the performances, Michael cracked a joke about wanting to steal Bryson and Adam called it "technically crazy." Kelsea noticed "the ease" that BD.ii performs with, Michael loved seeing Olivia "get into character" and thinks she can do anything, and her former coach Adam told Ari she sounded "amazing." Kelsea was interested by Renzo's fusing of rock and soul and projected him being a big star.John noted for Bryson the his "high notes were thrilling" and he is a "compelling" vocalist, commented on BD.ii's "pure, soulful voice that always sounds cool," was "thoroughly impressed" by the "stunning" performance from Olivi

Inspiring Quotes for Tuesday, May 06, 2025
Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers. Susan Sontag !n her 2013 essay collection ¡°Regarding the Pain of Others,¡± author Susan Sontag reflected on the ways people respond to violent imagery. She made the argument that it isn¡¯t the quantity of images that desensitizes us to the suffering of others, but our feelings of fear and helplessness that cause us to shut down and turn away. She suggested that compassion without action is not sustainable; it¡¯s a self-serving emotion that ¡°proclaims our innocence as well as our impotence.¡± By examining our privilege and the ways in which it may be linked to the suffering of others, we take the first step in effecting meaningful change.
