This week, I am thankful: for a funny triangle cat Instagram showed me this fat cat who is almost exactly the same shape as a triangle, so I immediately sent his pics to my girls. I knew they would love him as much as I did. Howwww is he such a triangle??? His username is katsrkole, in case you’d like to follow him. 😉 for the way a smartphone makes being on hold less miserable I had to call the IRS this week, and the hold time was…impressive. Impressively long, that is. And that reminded me how grateful I am...

[TAG0]Black holes are found throughout our universe. However, astronomers have discovered two new black holes close to Earth that have raised some eyebrows. While discovering black holes near Earth isn’t unusual, these two holes are much further from their stars than expected.

That eating of the star is what makes the black holes much...

The three newfound species, named Polycirrus onibi, Polycirrus aoandon, and Polycirrus ikeguchii are found in the shallow waters of Japanese rivers and streams. The blueish and purple light the glow-in-the-dark worms give off is what originally inspired the researchers to name them after ancient Japanese demons. A paper on the new discovery is featured in the journal Royal...
