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 4 Spin up of a Supermassive Black Hole Illustration Credit: Robert Hurt, NASA/JPL-Caltech Explanation: How fast can a black hole spin? If any object made of regular matter spins too fast -- it breaks apart. But a black hole might not be able to break apart -- and its maximum spin rate is really unknown. Theorists usually model rapidly rotating black holes with the Kerr solution to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which predicts several amazing and unusual things. Perhaps its most easily testable prediction, though, is that matter entering a maximally rotating black hole should be last seen orbiting at near the speed of light, as seen from far away. This prediction was tested by NASA's NuSTAR and ESA's XMM satellites by observing the supermassive black hole at the center of spiral galaxy NGC 1365. The near light-speed limit was confirmed by measuring the heating and spectral line broadening of nuclear emissions at the inner edge of the surrounding accretion disk. Pictured here is an artist's illustration depicting an accretion disk of normal matter swirling around a black hole, with a jet emanating from the top. Since matter randomly falling into the black hole should not spin up a black hole this much, the NuSTAR and XMM measurements also validate the existence of the surrounding accretion disk.

No costumes, a minimalist set (a rocking chair, a tea table, remnants of a fishing net hung on the curtain); and he captivated us all. Astonishing. I’ve never been able to find out the actor’s name. It remains the greatest dramatic performance I have ever seen. We’ve seen Under Milk Wood a number of times since.

From: Gregory Fry Today's Scripture: After these things, Jesus revealed Himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. He revealed Himself this way. Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, "I'm going fishing." They told him, "We are also coming with you." They immediately went out, and entered into the boat. That night, they caught nothing. But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples didn't know that it was Jesus. Jesus therefore said to them, "Children, have you anything to eat?" They answered Him, "No." He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." They cast it therefore, and now they weren't able to draw it in for the multitude of fish. That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It's the Lord!" So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around him (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea. But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away), dragging the net full of fish. So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught." Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fish, one hundred fifty-three; and even though there were so many, the net wasn't torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." None of the disciples dared inquire of Him, "Who are you?" knowing that it was the Lord. Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus was revealed to His disciples, after He had risen from the dead. So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love (Greek: agapas) Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection (Greek: philo) for You." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love (Greek: agapas) Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection (Greek: philo) for You." He said to him, "Tend My sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for Me?" Peter was grieved because He asked him the third time, "Do you have affection (Greek: phileis) for Me?" He said to Him, "Lord, You know everything. You know that I have affection (Greek: philo) for You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep." Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself, and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you, and carry you where you don't want to go." Now He said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When He had said this, He said to him, "Follow Me." --John 21:1-19 I don’t know if we really ought to have favorite passages of Scripture--But if we are allowed them, this one ranks way up there for me. It is such a beautiful story of grace and compassion and loving kindness. Every time I read it, I see something different. And John crafts the story so well, it is beautifully told. And through it, we have so much to learn about who we are and who Jesus is to us. I'm not sure if you might have had an experience of rebuilding or restoring something or knew someone who did, but of course it is often a long and involved process. One needs an idea of what the original was like, or intended to be. One needs to come up with a plan for the restoration. One needs to seek out and procure the necessary parts and equipment for the job. Then--if doing so is truly one's passion--one must put in the time and effort to see the project brought to completion, seen not so much as "drudgery" but as joy and satisfaction as the project comes to fruition. And that is not a bad analogy for what we see happening in this story. Bit by bit, Jesus is restoring His disciples;
