Unbelievably large Black hole discovery leave scientists perplexed
At a distance of 15,000 light-years from Earth, scientists have found a black hole that is particularly puzzling: according to their calculations, its mass should not exceed 30 times the mass of the sun, whereas in reality the measured mass of the black hole is 70 times that of the sun, more than twice the theoretical limit.

A quantum physicist invented a new code from old tricks
Dr. Benjamin Brown from the School of Physics has developed a type of error-correcting code for quantum computers that will free up more hardware to do useful calculations. "Because quantum information is so fragile, it produces a lot of errors," said Dr. Brown, a research fellow at the University of Sydney Nano Institute.

US astronomers find cosmic missing link black hole
A team of astronomers led by Dr. Dacheng Lin at the University of New Hampshire in Durham believes it has discovered evidence for a particularly elusive kind of black hole that may be a missing link to a wider understanding of these mysterious bodies. Lin's team used the Hubble telescope along with two X-ray measurements to observe what is called an intermediate-mass black hole.

Scientists discover fish migration route 4500 ft below sea level
A recently concluded study from a large number of collaborating groups in universities around the world has photographed evidence of a deep-sea fish migration route that was first theorized to exist when scientists noticed that deep-sea fish populations exhibited seasonal patterns. While the exact route is still unclear, scientists have managed to prove that the migration route exists 4,500 feet below sea level in the Atlantic Ocean.

NASA says massive asteroid will narrowly miss Earth
NASA has said a 2.5-mile-wide asteroid will pass by and narrowly miss Earth on April 29th, reassuring people not to worry. Although if the asteroid did hit the planet, it is large enough to cause global effects. NASA is also working on a program that will help humanity repel an asteroid if it does seem to be on its way to crashing into the planet.
