What occurs when the sun and a black hole collide?
Imagine a little but formidable adversary, a tiny black hole, facing off against a huge giant like the sun. The solar system's future is at stake in this impending collision. Will the Sun be completely engulfed by a tiny black hole or will it be able to survive its strong gravitational pull? the forces involved in this incredible cosmic collision hold the key to the solution, therefore let's first define what a black hole is. Similar to a cosmic vacuum cleaner, a black hole is an area of space where gravity is so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape that approaches too closely Its bulk is so great that it distorts the surrounding SpaceTime.

Keep your distance if you spot red holes in the sky.. Content Warning.
A massive disturbance caused by the eruption of a volcano in the Tonga islands in January 2022 altered our understanding of GPS signals forever. The volcano erupted, sending out a massive mixture of gas and debris into the atmosphere, creating a shock wave that traveled across the entire atmosphere, all the way to Alaska, and triggered a tsunami over nearby islands in Northern Australia. It also created an odd plasma bubble in the upper atmosphere, which interfered with GPS systems for hours, making those who were affected by it and in need of accurate GPS

The other side of the moon
On August 23, 2023, India's Chrono 3 spacecraft made history by becoming the first to land on the lunar South Pole, a location that is normally hidden from view from Earth. What makes this lunar hideaway so fascinating to scientists? It turns out that it is hiding something valuable—precious lunar ice—that is thought to be more abundant there than what we have found up north. It's easy to understand why scientists are so excited about this—frozen water source that could be essential to constructing a permanent lunar residence or even supplying energy for Mars missions.
