An international group of scientists, including Virginia Tech’s John Simonetti, recently announced they had detected a kilonova — a collision of two neutron stars that unleashed a set of gravitational waves into outer space.

The unprecedented detection happened on Aug. 17. Scientists, using the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO for short), detected gravitational waves, aka ripples in space-time, from the collision of two neutron stars 130 million years ago. Additional astronomers, representing some 70 observatories, announced they detected the resulting explosion. This marks the first time a cosmic event has been viewed in both gravitational waves and light. What's even more astonishing is that as these waves radiated over the country, particularly a small portion of central Virginia the 130 million year old waves "spiraled" which confirms predictions of Albert Einstein’s century-old theory of general relativity, which included the existence of gravitational waves — ripples in the space-time fabric. The 100 second event did not leave scientists enough time to pinpoint the source but researchers will began their study in Virginia within the coming months.

"I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
