Chris Packham

Chris Packham is an associate professor of physics and astronomy at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). He has collaborated on a new study that expands the scientific community's understanding of black holes in our galaxy and the magnetic fields that surround them. Packham's work involves innovative research happening in physics at UTSA, observing the magnetic field of a black hole within our own galaxy from multiple wavelengths for the first time. His findings challenge previous models of black hole components and deepen our understanding of these mysterious cosmic entities.

Discovering Two Intermediate-Mass Black Holes: Insights into Formation and Evolution

Broke On: Thursday, 18 July 2024 Astronomers have discovered two intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) near the Milky Way's center, shedding light on black hole formation and evolution. One IMBH was found using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and ESA's VLT, while the second one was detected in Omega Centauri. These discoveries challenge our understanding of black hole formation and offer new research opportunities in astrophysics.

Parrots Prefer Live Video Chats: New Study Sheds Light on Parrot Engagement and Social Needs

Broke On: Monday, 06 May 2024 Parrots prefer live video chats over pre-recorded videos, engaging more and exhibiting behaviors similar to real-life interactions. In a study, parrots made twice as many calls during live sessions and spent over five times more time engaged compared to pre-recorded videos. The findings suggest that technology may help meet social needs of captive parrots.
