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 +2.90% - X Months XXXXX +124% - X Year XXXXXX +20% ### Followers: XXXXXXX [#](/creator/twitter::138882249/followers)  - X Week XXXXXXX +0.32% - 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% [exchanges](/list/exchanges) #1257 [travel destinations](/list/travel-destinations) X% [finance](/list/finance) XXXX% [luxury brands](/list/luxury-brands) XXXX% [cryptocurrencies](/list/cryptocurrencies) XXXX% **Social topic influence** [constellation](/topic/constellation) #8, [solar](/topic/solar) #440, [gas](/topic/gas) #204, [the first](/topic/the-first) #2458, [milky way](/topic/milky-way) #31, [sun](/topic/sun) #689, [cetus](/topic/cetus) #10, [core](/topic/core) #851, [arms](/topic/arms) #307, [red](/topic/red) #3635 **Top accounts mentioned or mentioned by** [@grok](/creator/undefined) [@stellarixorine](/creator/undefined) [@drahmadrihan](/creator/undefined) [@flysamik](/creator/undefined) [@christo21700560](/creator/undefined) [@mxgryan](/creator/undefined) [@reservjesus88](/creator/undefined) [@abhilashc1981](/creator/undefined) [@jtlovitt](/creator/undefined) [@laulau61811205](/creator/undefined) [@thefourages](/creator/undefined) [@webby2004](/creator/undefined) [@gap422](/creator/undefined) [@csnpllc](/creator/undefined) [@nash_a_nator](/creator/undefined) [@marionawfal](/creator/undefined) [@jclenz2](/creator/undefined) [@komputernik](/creator/undefined) [@ghost_pilot_md](/creator/undefined) [@ggfantastic_1](/creator/undefined) ### Top Social Posts Top posts by engagements in the last XX hours "A gorgeous view of M51 also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy (Credit: NASA ESA S.

@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.

"IC 443: The Jellyfish Nebula (Shortened Version)The Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443) is a supernova remnant located about 5000 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. New Chandra X-ray Observatory observations have likely found its long-sought neutron star a rapidly spinning pulsar called CXOU J061705.3+222127 (J0617 for short) on the southern edge of the remnant.The explosion of a massive star left behind this dense spinning neutron star. Chandra data reveal a small ring around J0617 possibly a shock where the pulsar wind slows abruptly and a jet-like feature shooting particles at high speed."

"First direct evidence of Monster Stars 1000-10000x more massive than the Sun Astronomers have long wondered how supermassive black holes formed so quickly after the Big Bang given that normal stars can't generate black holes of that size fast enough. Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope a team of researchers discovered the first clear evidence that "monster stars" weighing between 1000 and 10000 times the mass of our Sun existed in the early universe. These stars burned brightly for only a short time before collapsing into massive black holes. By analyzing the chemical makeup of a galaxy"

Also many molecules emit brightly at many specific infrared wavelengths and also absorb light at specific infrared wavelengths.

The tail you see is the globules own gas being boiled away by the ultraviolet firestorm from nearby O-type stars (the big blue short-tempered monsters of the cluster).What makes frEGGs so special is that theyre"
