Stream Episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com or www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com (both mobile friendly)\xa0*The closest ever stellar orbit seen around a black hole Astronomers have discovered what appears to be the tightest ever stellar orbit around a black hole. The findings could help astronomers better understand the strange gravitational dynamics around stellar mass black holes.\xa0*A new study of Gamma-ray flashes emanating from tropical storms Scientists have discovered that a storm\u2019s size and intensity doesn\u2019t affect its production of terrestrial gamma-ray flashes \u2013 some of the highest energy event generated on Earth. NASA scientists analysed dozens of terrestrial gamma-ray flashes launched by the largest and strongest weather systems on the planet: tropical cyclones, storms, hurricanes, and typhoons.\xa0*Scientists create negative mass Physicists have created a fluid with negative mass \u2013 which they claim is exactly as mind-bending as it sounds. It means that unlike just about everything else in the universe -- if you push it \u2013 instead of moving in the direction being pushed \u2013 it moves in the exact opposite direction.\xa0If you're enjoying SpaceTime, please help out by sharing and telling your friends.
