Scientists Catch A Black Hole Munching On A Giant Planet Comment Now Follow Comments *Scientists observing a distant galaxy catch a black hole in the middle of destroying a planet larger than Jupiter.* Like virtually every other galaxy in the universe, the Galaxy NGC 4845 has a central black hole.

Now, armed with more sophisticated data from a s... mais »

Esta expressão foi usada pelo Dr. Sérgio Luiz Bassanesi durante nossa apresentação no Congresso Mundial de Epidemiologia, encerrado há poucos dias em nossa cidade.

No extremo da periferia a esperança não pa... mais »
