I Can Never Forget That ‘Loonatics Unleashed’ Existed

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-26 04:40:21

Our current IP-obsessed age is doing anything possible with old properties, but that’s not as new a trend as you’d think. Such a practice was around in the early and mid-2000s, just in small droves—case in point, do you remember when the Looney Tunes were superheroes? Yes, that really happened in a show called Loonatics Unleashed. The Kids’ WB show launched on September 17, 2005, and was the franchise’s first foray into the action genre. Our premise?

For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil — or "kick," in the parlance — resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two preexisting ones. The international team of researchers measured the ripples in the fabric of spacetime, known as gravitational waves, allowing them to get unprecedented insights into the turbulent dynamics of two black holes crashing into each other.
