✨️A new generation of black holes was discovered by Gaia! ✨️
Or, in other words: the infodump no one asked for -
Gaia accurately measures the positions & motions of billions of stars. The movement of stars against the sky can give essential clues about objects that gravitationally influence these stars. These objects can include other stars, exoplanets & black holes.
The existence of two black holes in our 'cosmic backyard' has been confirmed, which means that they are the closest black holes ever discovered!
They're called Gaia BH1 & Gaia BH2 & they are located just 1560 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus & 3800 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus.
They were discovered by studying the movement of their companion stars, which is also a tactic to detect exoplanets (stars may fluctuate in their movement too, when they are influenced by the gravitational pull of their planet).
A strange ‘wobble’ in the movement of the stars on the sky indicated that they are orbiting a very massive object. In both cases, the objects are approximately ten times more massive than our Sun & didn't emit any light.
Until recently, all the black holes were discovered by emission of light – usually at X-ray & radio wavelengths – produced by material falling in.
The new black holes are truly black & can only be detected by their gravitational effects.
The distance of the stars to the black hole & the orbits of the stars around them are much longer than for other known binary systems of black holes & stars. Those closer star-black hole pairs, called X-ray binaries, tend to be very bright in X-ray and radio light & thus easier to find.
But the new discoveries suggest that black holes in wider binaries are more common than closer systems!
This information is incredibly valuable because it tells us a lot about the environment around a black hole. There are a lot of particles coming off the companion star in the form of stellar wind. But because there were no X-rays or radiation detected, it can be concluded that the black hole isn't a great 'eater' & not many particles are crossing its event horizon.

Please let me know if these random infodumps are OK, I've been pulling back a lot on them, but there is so much to share!
Il gigante addormentato sorprende gli scienziati di Gaia
La posizione dei primi tre buchi neri scoperti dalla missione Gaia dell’ESA nella Via Lattea. Anche questa mappa della nostra galassia è stata realizzata dalla missione Gaia. Il buco nero Gaia 1 (BH1) si trova a soli 1560 anni luce da noi in direzione della costellazione dell’Ofiuco; Gaia BH2 si trova a 3800 anni luce di distanza nella costellazione del Centauro; Gaia BH3 si trova nella…
Understanding Jaw Joint Disorders: Finding Relief at Total TMJ in Bournemouth
Are you experiencing pain or discomfort in your jaw? Does it click, pop, or lock when you open your mouth? You may be suffering from a jaw joint disorder, also known as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. But fear not, relief is within reach at Total TMJ in Bournemouth, where our team of specialists is dedicated to helping you find lasting solutions for your TMJ issues.
The temporomandibular joint acts like a hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. It's responsible for the smooth movement of your jaw, allowing you to speak, chew, and yawn comfortably. However, when this complex joint becomes inflamed or damaged, it can lead to a range of painful symptoms and affect your overall quality of life.
At Total TMJ, we understand the physical and emotional toll that jaw joint disorders can take. That's why we offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment options to address the root cause of your symptoms. Our team consists of experienced professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and management of TMJ disorders, ensuring that you receive the highest standard of care.
So, what are the common signs and symptoms of TMJ dysfunction? They can vary from person to person but may include:
1. Pain or tenderness in the jaw joint area, face, neck, or shoulders.
2. Difficulty or discomfort when chewing, speaking, or opening your mouth wide.
3. Clicking, popping, or grating noises when you move your jaw.
4. Jaw locking or limited range of motion.
5. Headaches, earaches, or ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's essential to seek professional help. Ignoring TMJ issues can lead to worsening symptoms and further complications over time. At Total TMJ, we take a personalized approach to diagnosis and treatment, starting with a thorough evaluation of your jaw joint function and overall oral health.
Once we've pinpointed the underlying cause of your TMJ disorder, we'll work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, treatment options may include:
1. Lifestyle modifications: Simple changes such as avoiding hard or chewy foods, practicing relaxation techniques, and maintaining good posture can help alleviate TMJ symptoms.
2. Physical therapy: Gentle exercises and manual techniques can improve jaw joint mobility and reduce muscle tension.
3. Splint therapy: Custom-fitted oral appliances (splints or mouthguards) can help stabilize the jaw joint and relieve pain.
4. Medications: Pain relievers, muscle relaxants, or anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed to manage pain and inflammation.
5. Injections: In some cases, corticosteroid or Botox injections may be recommended to reduce muscle tension and alleviate pain.
At Total TMJ, our goal is to provide effective, long-lasting relief for TMJ sufferers in Bournemouth and beyond. Don't let jaw joint pain hold you back from living your life to the fullest. Schedule a consultation with our team today and take the first step towards a happier, healthier smile.
