SOCIAL MEDIA IN ACTION

SOCIAL MEDIA IN ACTION

What started it.

The article that started it was the one on the left. Notice the many social media buttons. And notice also the Microsoft ad. It's using tweets in the ad content. Tweeting is another social media tool, a powerful one.

I returned to the Philippines after 25 years in the States. That's what I'm blogging about.

IT'S DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO VISUALIZE THIS.

This is an item I am re-posting from its source. A flare-up in a jet of matter blasting from a monster black hole is giving astronomers an incredible light show.

The outburst is coming from a blob of matter, called HST-1. It's embedded in the jet which is a powerful narrow beam of hot gas produced by a supermassive black hole residing in the core of the giant elliptical galaxy M87.


HST-1 is so bright that it is outshining even M87's brilliant core, whose monster black hole is one of the most massive yet discovered.


The glowing gas clump has taken astronomers on a rollercoaster ride of suspense. Astronomers watched HST-1 brighten steadily for several years, then fade, and then brighten again. They say it's hard to predict what will happen next.
