− | <big>'''Rocket Lab Successfully Deploys 34 Satellites and Catches Rocket Booster Returning from Space with Helicopter'''</big> | + | <big>'''Scientists discover rapidly growing black hole'''</big> |
− | <br />Rocket Lab (Nasdaq: RKLB) (“Rocket Lab” or “the Company”), a leading launch and space systems company, has successfully launched its 26th Electron mission, deploying 34 satellites to orbit. Rocket Lab has now deployed a total of 146 satellites to orbit with the Electron launch vehicle. | + | <br />The fastest-growing black hole of the last nine billion years has been discovered by an international team led by astronomers at The Australian National University (ANU). |
| | | |
− | The “There And Back Again” mission also saw Rocket Lab complete a mid-air capture of the Electron booster with a helicopter for the first time. After launching to space, Electron’s first stage returned to Earth under a parachute. At 6,500 ft, Rocket Lab’s Sikorsky S-92 helicopter rendezvoused with the returning stage and used a hook on a long line to capture the parachute line. The mid-air capture is a major milestone in Rocket Lab’s pursuit to make Electron a reusable rocket to increase launch frequency and reduce launch costs for small satellites. After the catch, the helicopter pilot detected different load characteristics than previously experienced in testing and offloaded the stage for a successful splashdown. <small>([https://www.rocketlabusa.com/updates/new-blog-post-8/ More])</small> | + | The black hole consumes the equivalent of one Earth every second and shines 7,000 times brighter than all the light from our own galaxy, making it visible to well-equipped backyard astronomers. |
| + | |
| + | Lead researcher Dr Christopher Onken and his co-authors describe it as a "very large, unexpected needle in the haystack". |
| + | |
| + | "Astronomers have been hunting for objects like this for more than 50 years. They have found thousands of fainter ones, but this astonishingly bright one had slipped through unnoticed," Dr Onken said. <small>([https://www.anu.edu.au/news/all-news/scientists-discover-rapidly-growing-black-hole More])</small> |
