...just another week.
Re: black holes.
Saw a doco a while back about black holes and time. A geek had a theory that all time (both past and future) is "reflected" from the rim of a black hole. This meant that all our past and our future has been set. Far-fetched but interesting just like parallel universes or that other notion that the universe never ends!

There was an interesting article in the BBC this week about the reality of a space elevator before 2060 ie. well within our lifetime.
I reckon 2060 is too conservative.
Mars orbiters have recorded more evidence that a liquid once flowed on the planet.. possibly water?
Or ink?....
You might be confused because this is a hyperspectral image where the colour bands (red, green and blue) do not necessarily show true colours but are tuned to show differences in the material in the image. The blue here is not water but a particular type of mineral. The 'evidence' for flowing water is the shape of the valley system and the sediments at the bottom (including the mineral highlighted by the blue, which is probably sulphurous).

"Stars, dust, you and me, all the things that we see, only make up about 4 per cent of the entire Universe," he said.
"About 25 per cent is dark matter and the rest is dark energy."

The heart of the mammoth galaxy cluster Abell 2744, also known as Pandora's Cluster, is shown in this Hubble Space Telescope image. The cluster is so massive that its powerful gravity bends the light from galaxies far behind it, making background objects appear larger and brighter in a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. These powerful lenses allow astronomers to find many dim, distant structures that otherwise might be too faint to see. The small white boxes, labeled "a," "b," and "c," mark multiple images from the same background galaxy, one of the farthest, faintest, and smallest galaxies ever seen. The diminutive object is estimated to be over 13 billion light-years away. Enlarged views of the multiple images are shown in the insets at right.
