Looking down the barrel
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB's) puzzled astronomers for decades since their discovery by the Vela nuclear test surveillance satellites in the 60's. Scientists think now the mystery has been solved, adding yet another (unlikely) threat to the catastrophes lurking out there.

Mother lode
Ask anybody what is a supernova, and chances are a vast majority will respond it goes bang and has to do with astronomy. Supernovas are epitomes of out of this world catastrophe, of unimaginable violence. Yet we all have been - in a distant past - within not one but probably several ones. Close and intimate.

OUR black hole. Part II
It seems that every galaxy harbors a black hole in its core. The larger the central bulge of older stars, the bigger the hole. Our Milky Way is no exception, but only recently have we developed techniques suitable for peering into the cocoon and measuring the massive, quiet beast lurking inside.

Black holes ain't that black then?
That black holes are a pain in the neck for astrophysicists is more or less well known. Infinites and zeroes are fine for mathematics but not to be found in Nature, yet a black hole in principle hides an infinite at its center, or that was accepted until now.

Get a life - I
It was bound to happen. The issue of extraterrestrial life, or of life in general as it relates to the Universe had to crawl here sooner or later. Tiptoeing around sensitive issues, we plot the journey life and intelligence had to negotiate in this galactic corner, on Earth.

Given the right conditions, life started almost immediately; yet the road to complex organisms and to intelligence was probably more arduous and fraught with devastating incidents of which the sky was not absent.
