π¨ Are We Living Inside a Black Hole? π¨ The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has picked up something truly mind-bending. Its latest JADES survey observed galaxies that seem to share a preferred rotation direction β almost as if the entire universe is spinning together in one coordinated motion. Some scientists are now wondering: could this be evidence that our whole universe lies inside a giant black hole? π€― The idea, known as black hole cosmology, suggests that everything β from stars and galaxies to time itself β might exist within the event horizon of a colossal black hole from another universe. Imagineβ¦ what we call the Big Bang could have bee

π Astronomy Picture of the Day: Gemini Meteors over Snow Capped Mountains Where are all of these meteors coming from? In terms of direction on the sky, the pointed answer is the constellation of Gemini. That is why the major meteor shower in December is known as the Geminids -- because shower meteors all appear to come from a radiant toward Gemini. Three dimensionally, however, sand-sized debris expelled from the unusual asteroid 3200 Phaethon follows a well-defined orbit about our Sun, and the part of the orbit that approaches Earth is superposed in front of the constellation of Gemini. Therefore, when Earth crosses this orbit, the radiant point of falling debris appears in Gemini. Featured here is a composite of many images taken over the past few days through dark skies from Slovakia and capturing the snow-covered peaks of the Belianske Tatra mountains Numerous bright meteor streaks from the Geminids meteor shower are visible. Orion is visible above the horizon, while the bright star nearest the radiant is Castor.
