Cool. And here’s a good explanation of what we’re seeing. You can also learn a lot by listening to the scientists explain what’s going on.

Your readers need a science article on the new Sollasina cthulhu fossil.
That press conference was very well done: explained the developments, conveyed the excitement, ended on remaining mysteries; discussed the process through which they arrived here; took questions from high school students; emphasized the value of a longsighted view toward basic science and continuous funding as well as the importance of international scientific collaboration.
Well, that’s just silly.
When the mildly deranged penguin first saw that image, she thought it might be the retrothrusters of one of the old relativistic MOONs (Massive Orbital Cheese Vaults), but upon closer examination — tasting — it clearly isn’t. That was one of the problems with the old relativistic MOONs, some cheeses objected to being warpped and arriving before they left, so there was also a few cheese particles escaping (whole cheeses tried to escape, but if you’ve ever jumped into a reativistic warp drive, then you know you (2) don’t say intact, and (1) aren’t reading this). And the remaining cheeses tended to have slightly odd flavours. Current model MOONs don’t have these problems, and are also impervious to cream “cheese”.
If you look close enough, you can see Maximillian Schell stuffed in a robot suit in hell.
Akira @6: And that’s Laurence Fishburne over on the left!

And there is Matthew McConaughey, stoned out of his mind and prattling on about how “love is quantifiable phenomenon.”
OK, I think we’ve exhausted all singularity-themed movie references.
Rob Grigjanis @3:
Less silly than you’d think, actually. “Singularity” basically means “our math spits out nonsense.” Quantum mechanics and black holes barely get along, too, so we really have no description of what happens beyond the event horizon.
And if you look carefully you can see Mike Ryan in Eagle One.
Hj Hornbeck @9: The known physical laws (in this case GR) don’t “collapse” beyond the event horizon. They only break down at the singularity at the centre of the black hole, but are otherwise well-defined inside the event horizon.
The Schwarzschild and Kerr solutions of the field equations have apparent singularities at the event horizon (the Kerr solution actually has two such surfaces), but these are artefacts of the coordinate systems, not actual physical singularities.
What’s wrong with me? As much as I appreciate this astronomical first, somehow I can’t help being reminded of Tony Orlando! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mZAkDjLb84

Looks like a nuclear perfusion scan of the heart – and the patient is not doing well.
