  • Suspect in Boston police officer shooting due back in court
    by Staff Reports on March 29, 2024 at 7:33 am

    The 31-year-old man accused of shooting a Boston Police Department officer last week is set to appear in court Friday. Avery Lewis allegedly shot the officer on March 18, while police responded to a call regarding a person with a gun in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood. The officer, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, was taken to Boston Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, Boston police said. The other officers on scene were able to arrest the gunman without any other injuries. Lewis, of Dorchester, was held without bail on the following day during a hearing in Dorchester District Court. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf. Lewis’ dangerousness hearing is scheduled for Friday morning.

  • Here's a new, ‘twisted' look at the black hole at the center of our galaxy
    by Asher Klein on March 29, 2024 at 7:11 am

    Black holes — how do they work? New images of the magnetic field of the black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, may help us understand them a little better. The new view of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* that was provided by the Event Horizon Telescope suggests that all black holes have a similar structure, according to astronomers at Harvard and the Smithsonian Institute who shared the imagery on Wednesday. The imagery shows a fiery swirl around Sagittarius A*, and a similar one around another supermassive black hole, M87*, seen through polarized light, according to the research published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. The supermassive black holes M87* (left) and Sagittarius A*, seen in polarized light “What we’re seeing now is that there are strong, twisted, and organized magnetic fields near the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy,” said Sara Issaoun, a researcher with Harvard, the Smithsonian and NASA who co-led the project, in a statement. “Along with Sgr A* having a strikingly similar polarization structure to that seen in the much larger and more powerful M87* black hole, we’ve learned that strong and ordered magnetic fields are critical to how black holes interact with the gas and matter around them.” Sagittarius A* is about 4 million times more massive than the sun, which, according to NASA, makes it a rather small black hole to be at the center of the galaxy. The origin of such supermassive black holes remains mostly an astrophysical mystery. Handout: At left, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, Sagittarius A*, is seen in polarized light, the visible lines indicating the orientation of polarization, which is related to the magnetic field around the shadow of the black hole. At center, the polarized emission from the center of the Milky Way, as captured by SOFIA. At back right, the Planck Collaboration mapped polarized emission from dust across the Milky Way. The first, much blurrier view of Sagittarius A* was published in 2019 through the same tool, the Event Horizon Telescope, a collaboration between, at the time, eight observatories around the world. (It’s since grown.) The new image appears clearer through polarization, the same process that gives polarized sunglasses their clarity. The black holes emit hot gas called plasma, which is magnetized, and light bends around those magnetic fields, according to the researchers, who said in a news release that it took lots of work to capture the fast-morphing structure at the center of the Milky Way. “By imaging polarized light from hot glowing gas near black holes, we are directly inferring the structure and strength of the magnetic fields that thread the flow of gas and matter that the black hole feeds on and ejects,” Angelo Ricarte, a Harvard Black Hole Initiative fellow and project co-lead, said in a statement. “Polarized light teaches us a lot more about the astrophysics, the properties of the gas, and mechanisms that take place as a black hole feeds.” More space news Eclipse Mar 19 Can you take a picture of the solar eclipse?

  • Man accused of attempting to lure young girls in Swansea
    by Alysha Palumbo on March 29, 2024 at 6:08 am

    Police in Swansea, Massachusetts, are searching for a man they say attempted to lure young girls into his car this week. The two 13-year-old girls were walking down a bike path that runs behind the Target store next to Milford Road in Swansea, when a man approached them and asked if they wanted a ride, Swansea police said. Surveillance photos show the man’s dark blue, four-door sedan that police say is possibly a Hyundai Sonata. The man was described as being in his 60s with gray hair and an average build, according to police. The man is accused of approaching the two girls at about 2:45 p.m. Thursday as they walked down the bike path and asked them if they wanted a ride. The teens ran away from the man and toward the Target store. When officers looked at the store’s security cameras, they saw the man a few minutes earlier removing items from the front and back seats of his car and placing them in the trunk. He then allegedly walked away from the vehicle and stared down the road, in the direction of where the girls were walking, before approaching them. Anyone with information about the man or his vehicle should call the Swansea Police Department at 508-674-8464.

  • Rain dries out Friday morning, with the wind picking up later in the day
    by Pete Bouchard on March 29, 2024 at 5:36 am

    After all these days of rain, the message has become a little stale. Thankfully, we’re focused on terms like drying, brightening and warming in the days ahead. That said, Friday’s a struggle for the last two items. Rain will shut off quickly this morning, but the sun will struggle to take charge of the skies for the reminder of the day. Warming is another matter. 50 is within reach, but just barely As our storm departs, the wind will pick up later Friday afternoon and overnight. Saturday features a blustery start, with winds easing a bit in the afternoon. This will be the pick of the holiday weekend as highs recover to the low and mid 50s by afternoon. A quick-moving weather system will roll in during the night and lay down few early showers for sunrise services and Easter bonnets in the morning. Once again, sun will prevail for the afternoon (mixed with clouds) as highs recover to the low 50s. Next week continues on a soggy path. A storm arriving Tuesday will develop into a major offshore nor’easter in the Gulf of Maine by Wednesday and early Thursday. Initially, it’s rain but the potential is for snow to emerge as the storm intensifies. Right now, it seems that northern New England has the best chance for significant accumulation, but we’ll watch the track and evolution very closely through the holiday weekend. Either way, the end of the week and the following weekend look good. As does the eclipse on the April 8. We may even be treated to a warming trend by then. Imagine that. Have a great weekend!
