Thousands of tourists come to check out the 'Mouth of Hell', a lava lake inside Masaya Volcano, each month, and millions more people live nearby. Given how many people are on and around this well-and-truly active volcano, scientists are keeping a very close eye on what it's up to. Now, it appears two reservoirs of magma lurking within the volcano are active at the same time. Those are the findings presented in Geophysical Research Letters by a team from Pennsylvania State University, based on Sentinel-1 satellite radar images taken roughly every 12 days for six years. The volcano's famous lava lake is just a small surface feature of the much larger volcano complex, which researchers are still trying to understand, so they can better understand what risks face nearby residents and the droves of tourists that come through daily. Around 2 million people live in close proximity to the volcano. Managua, the capital city of Nicaragua, is about 20 kilometers (12 miles) away.

A Black Hole 12,000 Light-Years Away Is Firing a Plasma Jet Toward Earth - Gadget Review
Milky Way’s first microblazar candidate sits 12,000 light-years away, offering a rare ground-level lab for studying relativistic jetsA black hole 12,000 light-years away is firing a jet of plasma almost directly toward Earth. At that distance, no known or expected danger to Earth has been identified by the researchers or the institutions involved. What astronomers have actually found is rarer and more interesting than a threat. Researchers have identified IRAS 18293-0941 as a compelling candidate for the Milky Way’s first microblazar, a class of object that gives astrophysicists a close-up laboratory for studying some of the most violent physics in the galaxy. What Astronomers FoundThe discovery centers on a binary system whose black hole expels plasma jets at close to three-quarters the speed of light, pointed almost directly toward Earth. The system pairs a hot, massive star with a black hole that completes a full orbit roughly every 11.38 days. Material drawn from the companion star feeds the black hole, and some of that matter gets expelled outward as opposing jets traveling at approximately three-quarters the speed of light. Terminology matters here.
