NASA has shared a breathtaking image of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Andromeda galaxy, captured by the retired Spitzer Space Telescope. The image reveals the black hole’s ‘quiet’ feeding habits, consuming a steady stream of matter rather than large clumps. Meanwhile, NASA has announced a new crew for its SpaceX Crew-9 mission, scheduled to launch in September 2024.
NASA has clarified that the strange pulsing noises emanating from the Boeing Starliner spacecraft docked at the International Space Station (ISS) were due to an audio configuration issue. The sounds, which were described as similar to sonar pings, were caused by feedback from the speaker system due to the complex audio system that interconnects multiple spacecraft and modules at the ISS. NASA has assured that the issue has no impact on crew safety or operations, and Starliner is scheduled to undock from the ISS on September 7th.
