Worlds first movie of black hole, captured by smallest telescope !

On 19th March 2008, "Pi of the Sky" telescope detected the brightest ever optical outburst from a distant universe. The explosion happened 7.5 billion light years from the Earth, halfway across the visible Universe. The telescope is only 71 mm in diameter.

The outburst known as GRB 080319B was probably the death of a massive star leading to the creation of a black hole. For the first time the birth of a black hole has been filmed. Cameras of the "Pi of the Sky" project recorded this remarkable event with a 4-minute sequence of 10-second-long images. In almost 20 seconds the object became so bright that it could be visible with the naked eye. Then it began fading and in 4 minutes it became 100 times fainter. At that time the observation was taken over by larger telescopes.

Here it is keep looking at the center:

Adrenaline junkie !?

Recently I have realised that everyday coming to office and going back isnt just about commuting... I tend to speed, cut through traffic, sometimes indulge in rash driving... and I love it !!!!
I feel like, am now addicted to it. Day before yesterday I decided not to exceed 40 Kmph when coming to the office... and all through out the travel, I couldnt think of anything else but the speed limit... finally I broke that limit and crossed 80 kmph and phew, I felt relaxed !!

I had heard of adrenaline junkies, who risk their lives to get that adrenaline rush .... I think I have got a bit of that quality. Unless I dont drive at certain risky speed or cut through traffic fast and ruthlessly, I dont quite feel that the day has begun
