Scientists from the University of California, Irvine calculated the Milky Way’s black hole population as part of a new census. The team estimated the number of black holes that have masses tens of times that of the sun. These are called stellar-mass black holes. They form when massive stars collapse. The census estimates the numbers of these black holes in galaxies big and small. The results will be published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

But there’s no reason to fear. “It may sound like a big number, but by astronomical standards, it’s a pretty small number,” says Daniel Holz. He is a physicist at the University of Chicago in Illinois. For comparison, our galaxy has a thousand times more stars.

This almost subconscious way of arriving at visual narrative is a process that, for Cutler, goes way back. “In childhood, I thought drawing was a bit like voodoo—I could work out my struggles and take control of certain situations,” she says. “It was also therapeutic, helping me get through my parents’ divorce.

No question about it, Amy Cutler is an artistic mixologist. The inspirations for her drawings and gouache-on-paper works encompass anxieties about global warming, Persian dynastic stories, a favored pair of shoes, and deceased family members. An idea can come from just about anywhere, arising most o...

My go-to drawing pencil is a Staedtler Mars HB. It doesn’t smear much when I paint over it. When it starts getting short I use a pencil extender and a little handheld pencil sharpener to get the most out of each one.

Many conditions give rise to snow. How and where they develop can make the difference between whether they drop a quiet dusting or the proverbial Snowmageddon.

Most people love a good snowstorm. After all, what’s better than a day off from school or work to sip warm cocoa as you wait for a chance to later explore the imminent winter wonderland? But just as no two snowflakes are alike, neither are any two snowstorms.

Our galaxy the Milky Way may have some 100 million such black holes. Astronomers estimate a new one forms every second.

A black hole isn’t truly a hole. It’s quite the opposite. A black hole is a place in space containing an enormous amount of mass packed very tightly together. And it has the capacity to draw in more mass all the time. These objects have so much mass — and therefore gravity — that nothing can...
