There is a direct relationship between the mass of a black hole and the size of its event horizon. if you know the one, you know the other. So if a black hole is the highest mass ever seen, it would also be the largest in terms of its event horizon.

That said, inside the event horizon we simply can't know what goes on. So the "actual size" (meaning, how much space the matter inside the black hole occupies) is, I believe, simply unknown.

Sounds like your next few days were a mite miserable

Obligatory “It’s crap, just let me know where you live and I’ll take it off your hands”

All kinds of birds

Welp, time to watch Until the End of the World again

LOL, if NASA was interested in profit the SLS would have been shitcanned a long long time ago

In the romantic comedy it’s either her Toyota or her parents’

You simply roll all the way down

Excited to see what they dig up when building the visitors’s centre for the Roman altar! Hopefully a celtic ruin of some kind. Below that something neolithic.

Do papers currently published in MNRAS also go into ADS? If so, what would the point be of this move? If not, doesn't this move still have value for access (if not for researchers wanting to publish)?

Yay Jessie! She is a phenomenal skier and person. Her memoir "Brave Enough" is well worth a read. And she has been a role model for teambuilding and team member inclusion in a sport where some stars have been notably aloof from their national teams.

Aaand... the XC World Cup will be in the Twin Cities next year after having been canceled in 2020 due to COVID!

For those who don't know, it is extremely rare for the XC World Cup to hold races outside Europe. So this is a big deal, and I believe Jessie Diggins has been one of the people advocating hard for it to come to North America more often.

Yes, it is a lovely spot! Fairly dark skies, at least to the west (Mackinaw City to the east makes that side a bit bright).

Since they are pairing them with software that can presumably compensate for any non-flatness to the frequency response, all that matters is that their FR be well characterized and that it be capable of producing the requisite volume at all frequencies. They probably also have a precise understanding of the amp involved so that they know the exact volume that a certain level signal will produce at any given frequency.

Anyone care to translate into not-astronomer?

True. Those services aren't going to build custom streaming software for your random embedded PMP player OS.

This. Pre-Android PMPs ran slim, non-bloated software that was very close to the hardware and as a result were not very demanding on batteries. Using Android to run a PMP is like using a tractor trailer to do a grocery run. It works but is grossly inefficient.

I have also heard that you can take a bunch of rocks and make things like copper and steel out of them, both of which are useful when making electronic components.

My mom had a series of Georgina’s and such growing up because without fail they would get “boy” cats who proceeded to get pregnant.

Without any of Swift’s self awareness

100%. This would be great for that. If it’s not too expensive it would be a fun gift for a young teen who keeps saying they want tattoos

Wonder if JUICE will be able to detect it. They say it is hard to distinguish it from regular ice from far away, so perhaps not?

Watering caddies is acceptable. Otherwise, waste of good water.

— Golfers, probably

It's more a tinge of warmth. It's basically a slightly warm Harman curve headphone, not a bass cannon at all.

I like them a lot! Haven’t heard the 371 so can’t compare. They are somewhat warm but not rolled off or veiled, and they can also be easily EQed to meet whatever target you prefer. Decent bass extension for an open back.

That said, don’t sell your current cans short. Just because some headphones are relatively inexpensive doesn’t mean they are bad. A lot of people consider their Koss or $40 chifi iems perfectly good endgames.
