This system is being studied after a black hole merger event, which showed an anomalous acceleration that could be explained by the presence of a third black hole. The discovery provides new insights into these complex cosmic systems. ### Engagements: XXXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::138882249/interactions)  - X Week XXXXXXXXX -XX% - X Month XXXXXXXXXX +33% - X Months XXXXXXXXXXX -XX% - X Year XXXXXXXXXXX +60% ### Mentions: XXX [#](/creator/twitter::138882249/posts_active)  - X Week XXX -XX% - X Month XXXXX +2% - X Months XXXXX +120% - X Year XXXXXX +21% ### Followers: XXXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::138882249/followers)  - X Week XXXXXXX +0.50% - X Month XXXXXXX +2.20% - X Months XXXXXXX +6.60% - X Year XXXXXXX +25% ### CreatorRank: XXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::138882249/influencer_rank)  ### Social Influence **Social category influence** [countries](/list/countries) XXXX% [travel destinations](/list/travel-destinations) XXXX% [exchanges](/list/exchanges) #1288 [finance](/list/finance) XXX% [luxury brands](/list/luxury-brands) XXXX% **Social topic influence** [solar](/topic/solar) #259, [constellation](/topic/constellation) #8, [milky way](/topic/milky-way) #16, [gas](/topic/gas) #774, [the first](/topic/the-first) #1697, [sun](/topic/sun) #1066, [cetus](/topic/cetus) #11, [core](/topic/core) #996, [red](/topic/red) 1.33%, [hidden](/topic/hidden) XXX% **Top accounts mentioned or mentioned by** [@grok](/creator/undefined) [@truthdotphd](/creator/undefined) [@reservjesus88](/creator/undefined) [@noahboday](/creator/undefined) [@flysamik](/creator/undefined) [@christo21700560](/creator/undefined) [@mxgryan](/creator/undefined) [@nickhasdoubts](/creator/undefined) [@blackinwhite434](/creator/undefined) [@abhilashc1981](/creator/undefined) [@al_bertoid](/creator/undefined) [@thefourages](/creator/undefined) [@laulau61811205](/creator/undefined) [@drahmadrihan](/creator/undefined) [@csnpllc](/creator/undefined) [@abudhabisoros](/creator/undefined) [@marionawfal](/creator/undefined) [@jclenz2](/creator/undefined) [@paul4jennii](/creator/undefined) [@komputernik](/creator/undefined) ### Top Social Posts Top posts by engagements in the last XX hours "San Francisco Looks Pretty Amazing From SpaceSeptember 2015 Space View of San Francisco taken by Astronaut Scott Kelly from aboard the International Space Station" [X Link](https://x.com/konstructivizm/status/1994891368645144713) 2025-11-29T22:09Z 791.5K followers, 12.6K engagements "Exoplanet.

@konstructivizm Black Hole
Astronomers have discovered possible evidence of a triple black hole system by analyzing a gravitational wave signal. This system is being studied after a black hole merger event, which showed an anomalous acceleration that could be explained by the presence of a third black hole. The discovery provides new insights into these complex cosmic systems.

The interaction causes distortions a central bar of dust and gas and an outer halo that could be the remains of a galaxy that merged billions of years ago.

"Wow that James Webb image of Jupiter is absolutely stunning The level of detail is insane you can see the chaotic storm systems the Great Red Spot looking like a raging vortex those glowing polar auroras and even the delicate rings and tiny moons popping out against the darkness.A few mind-blowing details from this shot:The auroras are lit up in infrared showing charged particles slamming into the atmosphere near the poles. Those bright white spots are actually massive lightning storms in the clouds. The faint rings (normally almost invisible) are glowing because of reflected light from"

"A re-examination of the 3I/ATLAS image taken in early October revealed a structured core and traces of industrial-grade metal casting doubt on the natural explanation. The further we delve into the history of 3I/ATLAS the more the previous data begins to seem less like static and more like evidence. This is particularly evident in this 45-minute frame taken on October XX 2025 by AstroPhotoG using the 14-inch Dobsonian telescope long before NASA or ESA released their own high-resolution images. This early image contains features that we now realize are impossible to ignore. These data are"

"On November XX 1960 Neil Armstrong then a 30-year-old civilian research pilot for the NACA (soon to become NASA) made his first flight in the North American X-15 rocket plane XX years ago today. This was the beginning of an intense two-year period in which he would fly the X-15 seven times reaching a peak altitude of 207500 feet (39.2 miles) and a top speed of Mach XXXX (3989 mph).Key highlights of Armstrongs X-15 career:First flight: XX November 1960 (X-15-1 flight 3-8-16). A relatively gentle checkout flight reaching Mach XXXX and 48840 ft. Highest altitude: X November 1962 (flight"

"In the shadowed halls of Berlins Pergamum Museum sleeps a silent witness from a city that should not be came from Uruk the first true city of mankind born five thousand years ago on the sun-scorched plains of southern Iraq when the world was still young and writing itself was a newborn miracle. There beneath layers of dust and time German excavators brushed away the centuries and found her: a small limestone figure serene enigmatic staring with wide unblinking eyes that have watched fifty centuries name was carved upon her no inscription to declare who she was: goddess priestess queen or"

"Yes that's one of the most profound images ever taken: Earth seen from the surface of Mars captured by Curiosity on January XX 2014 (Sol 529).In the raw image Earth appears as a bright pale blue dot in the Martian twilight with the Moon faintly visible nearby. From XXX million kilometers away our entire world is reduced to a single pixel of light; everything humanity has ever known every person every city war love story and dream all contained in that tiny speck.Carl Sagans words from Pale Blue Dot feel especially fitting here:"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. The"
