just yesterday, nasa announced that the chandra x-ray telescope has located a black hole that is nearby (a mere 50 million light years).. the great thing about this is that the black hole was observed being "born" just 35 years ago.

this provides astrophysicists with a young black hole of a known age to observe, which will lead to a better understanding of our mechanical universe.. *note for theologians: don't ask how the black hole can be 50 million light years away and only 35 year old.

the answer is that the light from the black hole takes 50 million years to reach earth.

A Social Security question...

this has been nagging at me...and i think that tomorrow i'll call the ss office to find out for sure.. my jw xhusband recently started collecting ss.

he is 62. i was married to him for almost 20 years, and we filed taxes jointly.

we divorced in 1990. i don't think he paid much into ss if at all.. he had his own business.. and worked for others for short periods of time over the years.
