Astronomers have, for the first time, measured the recoil speed and direction of a newborn black hole using gravitational waves. Data from the 2019 event GW190412 revealed the remnant shot away at 50 km/s. This breakthrough shows gravitational waves can reconstruct full 3D motion, offering new ways to connect black hole mergers with light signals.

Scientists have solved why the Moon’s dust cloud is uneven: heat. Using computer models, researchers found that meteor impacts on the Moon’s sunlit surface fling 6–8% more dust into space than on the cold night side, creating a lopsided halo. NASA warns this dust could threaten future landers and astronauts.
