The Astronomy Thread...

Read my post. It's a celestial event, not actually a UFO. The headline was sensationalized.

Exactly. People see UFO and think spaceship. That's not how scientists index UFOs. Hence why I was reluctant to put it in this thread. I figured Booze would come in here with his hillbilly Carolina ass and go straight to "nah, them's not those thar alienz" with a grass straw sticking out of his mouth.

It does refer to blasting out of a monster black hole so perhaps it belongs in the sex thread.
 
Oh I see.

You fags are going with the new way where UFOs are not flying saucers but now identify as UAPs.

Freaks.

I am not. I'm simply pointing out that the article is using the term UFO in a provocative way because they know what it connotes. But they're referring to a celestial event.

Personally I don't use UAP. I use UFO for flying saucers like a proper gentleman.

The X post from Daily Mail US uses a sensational headline about "powerful UFOs blasting out of a monster black hole" to promote an article on a new astronomical observation in the distant quasar WISSH13, over 11 billion light-years away.

In scientific terms, UFOs refers to ultra-fast outflows—streams of superheated, ionized gas detected via XMM-Newton and NuSTAR X-ray telescopes—with components moving at 10% and 30% the speed of light, ejecting over 40 solar masses of material per year in a layered structure.

The discovery, from when the universe was about 2 billion years old, highlights how these energetic winds from supermassive black holes can heat and expel gas, potentially regulating star formation and influencing early galaxy evolution.

11 billion light years is just so impossibly hard to fathom.
 
Because it sounds shakeweight gay!
 
Not to get off track here, but ancient wisdom -- philosophers, mystics, etc. -- have known and written about this for ages. We are all connected: Every one, every thing.

We in this modern age think we know it all, that we're so much smarter than the ancients, because we have better technology. But we aren't.

A prominent physicist said in the 50s or 60s something along the lines of, "The more we learn about the universe, the more it looks like not a physical structure, but an idea."
