    I don’t know… but hey! Do black holes in the southern sky spin the opposite as black holes in the northern sky? 🤔

      The cosmic owl is a space picture of two galaxies colliding -

      This is a space picture of two black holes colliding/Merging

      When I saw the article with that picture, all I saw was an owl…

        Sadly this is an inaccurate illustration drawn by an artist and not an actual image :(. Black holes look both pretty different and cooler than that (like more interstellar vibes)

        Gotcha! I skimmed the article to see if they had made an owl reference since it looked like the Cosmic Owl, but they didn’t so i wasn’t sure.
