I do not know of a digital solution that I would trust. However, I do like to be accurate, so I know how many seats and rows in my section. So if I have 10 rows of 10 seats, I expect a max of 100. I count heads as I go up the row.. I count empty seats as I return. The 2 should tally. (The tricky bit is the kids on the floor. Lol) We use WhatsApp at the KH. I guess it could be used in bigger venues like the Assembly Hall. That way there is a written and immediate record. If a bro with a laptop had an excel spreadsheet open, he only needs to key in the figure for the appropriate section to get the total figure automatically collated.

Human understanding and wisdom is very limited. And the 'spirit realm' is not bound by the rules of our physical universe. They are not bound by our speed limitations. -

New high-res black hole images challenge Einstein’s theory of relativity New simulations show how sharper black hole images could reveal whether gravity follows Einstein’s theory or something new. By Joseph Shavit Published Nov 7, 2025 4:07pm A black hole can feel like the most distant and unreal object you could ever think about, yet the way its darkness bends light may one day speak directly to the deepest parts of physics. If you have ever looked at the famous images of the giant object in galaxy M87 or the one at the center of the Milky Way, you have already seen what scientists call a black hole shadow. Those glowing rings of hot gas circle an empty space where light vanishes forever. They carry signals that may help settle what gravity really is and whether the universe follows Einstein’s rules or something even stranger. How Scientists Compare Black Hole Shadows A team of researchers from Frankfurt and the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute in Shanghai tested what would happen if gravity worked differently than Einstein predicted. They ran detailed three-dimensional computer simulations showing how plasma and magnetic fields behave around many types of hypothetical black holes. They then traced how light would travel out of this violent region and built synthetic images based on each gravity model. Article link: https://www.thebrighterside.news/post/new-high-res-black-hole-images-challenge-einsteins-theory-of-relativity/ Pic [1] Description: A new study shows how future high-resolution black hole images could test gravity at its limits and reveal whether Einstein’s theory still holds. Pic [2] Alternative: At the current resolution of telescopes, black holes predicted by different theories of gravity still look very similar. Future telescopes will make the differences more visible, making it possible to distinguish Einstein’s black holes from others. (CREDIT: L.

'Coast' Through the Cosmos with Webb at Dulles International Airport 06 November 2025 10:00am Release ID: 2025-403 Summary Whether you are flying to another city or arriving home, a can’t-miss exhibit near Washington, D.C., will put you in a state of awe — and inspire you to learn more about the universe. Want to unwind while you are traveling to or from Dulles International Airport in Virginia? Prepare to be transported, both literally and figuratively, as you walk down the hall that connects the Metro stop and Parking Garage 1 to the main terminal, where almost 40 large-scale images from the James Webb Space Telescope are now on display. The telescope’s vivid infrared light images show expansive scenes of our universe, from galaxies and star-forming regions to dying stars and distant planets. In the same hall, you will also find over 30 equally immersive images from the Hubble Space Telescope — and yes, we recommend taking in both. These exhibits, developed by the Office of Public Outreach at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, show the breadth and depth of Webb’s scientific discoveries since its full science operations began in July 2022. The long-term exhibits will be up until at least the end of this decade, so make a mental note to "walk through space" when you’re on site.

Incredible new image of Milky Way galaxy from Australia hailed as 'milestone' By Michael Dahlstrom, 29 October 2025, 9:00am It's the largest low-frequency radio colour visualisation of the Milky Way in existence. After dedicating 18 months and 1 million computer processing hours (CPU) to create a single image, astronomers in Australia have released a new expansive view of our galaxy from the Southern Hemisphere. In 2019, the same outback telescope, the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), was used to create a survey of the Milky Way. But the new image has twice the resolution, 10 times the sensitivity and covers twice the area as the previous attempt. It’s now the largest low-frequency radio colour visualisation of the Milky Way ever created. The vivid image shows us how the galaxy would appear if we could see in radio waves, rather than light waves. Article link: https://au.news.yahoo.com/incredible-new-image-of-milky-way-galaxy-from-australia-hailed-as-milestone-220026519.html Pic Description (See article for full image): This image compares the GLEAM X image created using radio light, with the same view of visible light. -

Astronomers Heard the 7-Hour Death Rattle of a Star Being Eaten Alive By Cassidy Ward 22 Oct, 2025, 3:10pm How a black hole eating a star created the longest gamma-ray burst ever detected. In the 1960s, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union signed a treaty banning nuclear weapons tests inside Earth’s atmosphere. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Air Force launched the Vela satellites, 12 surveillance devices parked in Earth orbit. Their job was to look for gamma rays produced by the now-banned weapons tests. Over the next several years, the satellites picked up 16 intense flashes of gamma radiation, but they weren’t coming from Earth. By 1973, astronomers had learned enough about these mysterious outbursts to publish the results. What became known as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic and explosive events in the universe... This particular cosmic explosion, detected July 2, 2025 by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor and dubbed GRB 250702B, released a boat load of energy, enough that it should have been a rapid burst. Instead, it stretched on for a record-breaking seven hours. It beat the previous record by nearly three hours and had energy levels significantly higher than typical GRBs Article link: https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/how-a-black-hole-eating-a-star-caused-longest-gamma-ray-burst-ever#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=17614725721002&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.syfy.com%2Fsyfy-wire%2Fhow-a-black-hole-eating-a-star-caused-longest-gamma-ray-burst-ever Pic Description: A disk of hot gas swirls around a black hole in this illustration. The stream of gas stretching to the right is what remains of a star that was pulled apart by the black hole. A cloud of hot plasma (gas atoms with their electrons stripped away) above the black hole is known as a corona. Bottom pic illustrates Gamma Ray burst. -

Astronomers spot giant hidden 'bridge' & Record-breaking tail between 2 dwarf galaxies By Harry Baker published 2 days ago Researchers discovered a hidden 185,000 light-year "bridge" of gas between two distant galaxies, which are also trailed by a 1.6 million light-year galactic tail — the largest of its kind ever seen. The dwarf galaxy duo, NGC 4532 and DDO 137, is located approximately 53 million light-years from Earth, right on the edge of the Virgo cluster of more than 1,000 galaxies. The pair is similar to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) — adjacent dwarf galaxies that closely orbit the Milky Way — but they are not bound to any single entity. Instead, they appear to be slowly falling into the Virgo cluster. The mini galaxies were spotted by the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope in Australia, during the Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind Survey (WALLABY), which has been scanning the Southern Hemisphere's sky since 2022.

Aging White Dwarf Still Consuming Its Planetary System October 22, 2025 10:00am Release ID: 2025-404 Summary Dead star seen ripping planet apart. In approximately 5 billion years, the Sun will deplete its hydrogen fuel and collapse under its own gravity, becoming a white dwarf. Though Earth-sized, this dense remnant will retain much of the Sun’s gravitational influence. This transformation marks the end of our solar system as we know it. Or does it? The universe is never idle. Everything is in a perpetual state of fluctuation. Still, it came as a surprise to astronomers to find a 3 billion-year-old white dwarf actively accreting material from its former planetary system – a discovery that challenges assumptions about the late stages of stellar remnant evolution. The telltale forensic evidence came from observations with the W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea in Hawaiʻi. Spectroscopic analysis of light from the dwarf found 13 chemical elements that must have come from a small rocky body – an asteroid or dwarf planet. Like an apple falling out of a tree, some unknown gravitational disturbance within the past few million years may have sent this object spiraling inward. It was then torn apart by tidal forces and absorbed into the white dwarf’s surrounding debris disk. Article Link: https://www.stsci.edu/contents/news-releases/2025/news-2025-404.html?utm_source=stsci&utm_campaign=inbox_astronomy&utm_id=2025-404 Pic Description: This artist’s illustration shows a 3-billion-year-old white dwarf star accreting material from the remnants of its former planetary system. Gravitational instabilities caused a surviving planet to spiral inward and disintegrate under intense tidal forces, forming a debris disk. Spectroscopic analysis of the white dwarf’s atmosphere revealed the presence of this planetary debris -
