It is not actually a hole but a molecular cloud that is so dark no light can pierce through it, leaving the stars and galaxies behind it invisible from our view.
We have wondered since time immemorial -are we alone? Are we close to finding out? And if we do, it will be the most important discovery in the history of humankind. Will we be ready?

Broken spiral arms made of blue patches of stars and thin strands of dark dust swirl around the galaxyβs centre, forming a broad, circular disc. An extended circular halo surrounds the disc. The centre is a brightly-glowing, stubby bar-shaped area in a pale yellow colour. A bright star in our own galaxy, with long cross-shaped diffraction spikes, is visible atop the distant galaxy.
This star & spiral galaxy may appear to be neighbours, but they're actually separated by 45 million light-years.
The image of the pair combines data from two instruments on the NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope, taken more than 20 years apart.

Eastern Bluebird

A lone woman walks her dogs on a stormy beach.
The rocks remember battles past,
The waves strike hard but never last.
Yet here she treads, where legends fade,
a warrior bound by oath once made.
Dogs at heel, like wolves of old,
their eyes alight, their spirits bold.
And in her step, the earth still feels,
the strength of one who never kneels.
Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...
