... Special Reports Giant space cloud may be powered by black holes 17:57 23 April 2007 NewScientist.com news service David Shiga An enormous cloud of roiling plasma in space may be drawing its energy from black holes, new observations suggest. Such clouds might be sources for the mysterious particles that occasionally crash into Earth's atmosphere at ultra - high speed. ... But higher energy particles in the cloud may be able to escape, he says. ...

... To shed new light on these mysteries, we combine the gravitational lensing power of 25 massive galaxy clusters with HST's enhanced panchromatic imaging capabilities (WFC3 and the restored ACS) to test structure formation models with unprecedented precision. We have dubbed our program CLASH, which stands for: . ... CLASH: An Innovative Survey to Place New Constraints on the Fundamental Components of the Cosmos using the Hubble Space Telescope . ...

Armagh Observatory, 7 August 2000: . On the night of Friday 11th/Saturday 12th August, the annual meteor shower known as the Perseids makes its return. ... As Mark Littmann, author of "The Heavens on Fire," recounts, an American bookstore owner, Edward Herrick, independently discovered the Perseids on 9th August, 1837. He later made a thorough search of astronomical records and found several references to sightings of meteors on 9th and 10th August from Egypt in 1029 to England in 1833. ...

... Acceleration of particles in the vicinity of a massive black hole We propose a two-step mechanism for charged particle acceleration in the magnetosphere of a massive black hole surrounded by an accretion disk. Particles first gain energy by stochastic process during the accretion phase. It is shown that effective proton acceleration up to energies eV is possible in the turbulent magnetized accretion disk. ...
