gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-11-29 02:25:07

The numbers are in, and Wednesday season two, part one has hit 50 million views in only five days. Based on a report from Variety, the show, which premiered August 4, has matched season one’s streaming performance. That might crack a sardonic smile from Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) herself and make Grandmama proud. Between this and KPop Demon Hunters, Netflix is killing it by knowing its audience and giving creatives the freedom to push storytelling boundaries. This season brought in more Addamses

This Might Be the Most Massive Black Hole Ever Discovered

wired.com Jorge Garay 2025-11-30 05:47:40

Astronomers have identified what could be a new supermassive black hole, and with an estimated mass 36 billion times that of the sun, it is about 10,000 times heavier than the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. This would make it among the most massive objects ever detected. The finding, published in the Monthly Notice of the Royal Astronomical Society, was made by researchers from the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth in the UK in collaboration with
