In 2019, astronomers observed a star being destroyed by a black hole's gravitational forces after it ventured too close. The star's remains formed a disc-shaped "stellar graveyard" around the black hole. Over time, this disc has expanded and is now on a collision course with a star, or possibly a stellar-mass black hole, that orbits the massive black hole at a previously safe distance. These "quasi-periodic eruptions" (QPEs) are linked to supermassive black holes, but the cause of the regular X-ray bursts was unknown. Hubble's ultraviolet data aligned with Chandra's observations has led to a startling discovery about the supermassive black hole's disc size.

Haiti Prime Minister Garry Conille has arrived in Kenya for a four-day official visit. The discussions will focus on fast tracking the deployment of 600 more police officers to Haiti to help restore peace in the region. Kenya pledged to send 600 more police officers to Haiti to help fight gangs controlling capital, Port-au-Prince, and nearby areas. During a visit to Haiti, President Ruto said he supports the turning of the current Kenya-led security mission into a full United Nations peacekeeping operation. While addressing Kenyan police officers at their base in Port-au-Prince, Ruto commended the force for their successes over the last few months.

MPs impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Tuesday night after a lengthy and raucous debate. The day before, Gachagua took the unusual step of defending himself in a two-hour TV press conference in which he dismissed the 11 charges as a witch-hunt engineered by his political enemies. As the law provides, the trial now heads to the Senate where, again, the case will be prosecuted and, again, Gachagua will be handed a chance to defend himself. Reports in the media also indicate that Gachagua will likely dash to court to challenge the impeachment decision. Instead of a self-serving, long fight in the courts, Gachagua should resign and save his career, which will almost certainly be blighted by an impeachment at the Senate.

Florida residents are being warned not to visit areas hit by Hurricane Milton, after it brought tornadoes, floods, and storm surges to the state. More than three million homes and businesses are without power, while Governor Ron DeSantis says more flooding is expected in coming days. Four people were killed by tornadoes on the state's east coast in St Lucie County. In St Petersburg, on the west coast, the water supply has been cut, a crane crashed into a newspaper building, and the roof of a Major League Baseball stadium was ripped off. Milton is moving into the Atlantic, but will still produce hurricane-force winds and heavy rain over land.

According to the New York Times, despite efforts to minimize gang violence, the mission to end gang rampage seems to have proven a case of sour grapes. Haiti’s persistent gang violence and governance problems have glaringly tainted the mission which began on a promising note. The officers also had no food, forcing the Haitian National Police (HNP) to share their food with the Kenyan police officers. "Still, we pushed the gangs," Otunge stated. The Head of State also exuded confidence in the Kenyan police even as he highlighted the significant progress the Kenyan officers had made in eradicating the gangs.
