The findings open a new window into solar physics – providing new insights into the Sun’s internal structure and composition. *Weighing a distant black hole Astronomers have used to rotational speed cold gas clouds in a distant galaxy to make the most precise measurements ever of the mass of the supermassive black hole at its centre. The team found that the supermassive black hole which resides in the heart of the galaxy NGC1332 has about 660 million times the mass of the Sun. *Titans lakes fizz like soda pop New data indicates the hydrocarbon lakes and seas on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan might occasionally erupt with dramatic patches of bubbles.
