"We are delighted to receive this 2D seismic data," Pulsar Helium president and CEO Thomas Abraham-James said in a statement. The results confirm that a previously discovered pocket of helium between 1,750 and 2,200 feet below the surface"is identifiable and that additional gas-bearing zones are likely at depth," he said.

Astronomers find the nearest massive black hole, a missing link in massive black hole formationAstronomers find the nearest massive black hole, a missing link in massive black hole formationNewly identified fast-moving stars in the star cluster Omega Centauri provide solid evidence for a central black hole in the cluster. With at least 8,200 solar masses, it is the best candidate for a class of black holes astronomers have long believed to exist: intermediate-mass black holes, formed in the early stages of galaxy evolution.
