What happens when you have an active wormhole in your garage? Hawk finds out when he invites the new girl Celeste to the space club. The Black Hole Radio summons them down the hyperspace highway.... all the way to Pooponic's moon, Bilaluna, which is inhabited by giant cyborg insects! Mutated Earth insects - but how did they get there? And how can they stop the climate disaster that forced them to leave Pooponic from destroying their beautiful new home on Bilaluna? Join Hawk, Matt and Celeste on another intergalactic adventure as they are carried over the treetops by giant cyborg flies, race on the backs of cyborg roaches through an alien rainforest and sip nectar with the Queen Bee at a totally incredible intergalactic tea party! Stay tuned!

Black Hole Radio mixes 5th grade humor with ideas and facts about the universe, while gently promoting tolerance and inclusion.

Hawk, Matt and Celeste have been given special gifts by aliens they've met on their intergalactic adventures. ESP and telekinesis come in handy when they are transported to the racist planet, Ka'Azula, where only blue skin is accepted.

Stay tuned for another exciting episode of Black Hole Radio-Labyrinthia! Hawk, Matt, and Celeste's adventures are just beginning! They learn to control their special powers to get on the team and win the big basketball game. They are superstars! What can go wrong? When Hawk gets stuck with Big Mikey as his science buddy, he comes snooping around the clubhouse and the Black Hole Radio . . . Beep! Beep! Beep! Not again! Can the friends survive in the deep dark caves of Planet Labyrinthia? Can they avoid the taser-wielding goons and the monstrous, screeching Hellion to free the alien children enslaved in the mine? Hawk must use his grandpa's journals to control the radio and save them all from the belly of the beast . . . but where's Mikey! Stay tuned! "By the final pages, readers will know that the [friends'] adventures aren't over. Everyone that picks up a copy will be eagerly waiting for the next installment in the story. Anyone that is looking for a fun and imaginative story will enjoy spending time with Hawk, Matt, Celeste, Wolfie, and the rest of their [quirky] friends." -Entrada Book Review

In Black Hole Chasers, award-winning investigative journalist Anna Crowley Redding presents the riveting true story of one of the most inspiring scientific breakthroughs of our lifetime—the Event Horizon Telescope team's reveal of the first image of a super massive black hole. In April 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope Team unveiled the first ever image of a super massive black hole. This inspiring scientific breakthrough took years of hard work, innovative thinking, and a level of global cooperation never seen before. The challenge was immense. The goal was impossible. They would need a telescope as big as the earth itself. The technology simply didn’t exist. And yet, a multi-national team of scientists was able to show the world an image of something previously unseeable. Based off extensive research and hours interviews with many of the team's ground-breaking scientist, physicists, and mathematicians, Black Hole Chasers is a story of unique technological innovation and scientific breakthroughs, but more importantly, it's a story of human curiosity and triumph.

A new branch of physics, black hole gravitohydromagnetics (GHM) is developed from the rudiments to the frontiers of research. GHM describes plasma interactions that combine the effects of gravity and a strong magnetic field, in the vicinity (ergosphere) of a rapidly rotating black hole. This topic was created in response to the astrophysical quest to understand the central engines of radio loud extragalactic radio sources. The theory describes a "torsional tug of war" between rotating ergospheric plasma and the distant asymptotic plasma that extracts the rotational inertia of the black hole.

What is a black hole? Could we survive a visit to one? Have we yet discovered any real black holes? These are just some of the tantalizing questions answered in this tour-de-force, jargon-free review of one of the most facinating topics in modern science. In search of the answers, we trace a star from its birth to its death throes, take a hypothetical journey to the border of a black hole and beyond, spend time with leading theoretical physicists and astronomers, and take a whimsical look at some wild ideas black holes have inspired.Prisons of Light - Black Holes is comprehensive and detailed. Yet Kitty Ferguson's lightness of touch and down-to-earth analogies set this book apart from all others on black holes and make it a wonderfully stimulating and entertaining read.

"On-point historical photographs combined with strong narration bring the story of the first photograph of a black hole to life. Kids will learn why it was so hard to take a photo of something so dark it does not reflect light, and so far away it could barely be reached. Primary source quotations bring the amazing accomplishment to life"--

Examines the black hole, black hole hunters, what we could find in the future, and more.
