Subaru BRZ vs Ford Mustang! – Head 2 Head Episode 7

Posted by

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Angus MacKenzie pits the 2013 Subaru BRZ against its American rival – the 2013 Ford Mustang V6. After carving up canyon roads in both cars, Angus hands the keys over to pro race driver Randy Pobst for limit testing and hot laps around Streets of Willow racetrack. Find out which front engine, rear-wheel drive coupe reigns supreme!

CORRECTION – On the spec chart, the BRZ engine should be listed as simply a Flat-4. It is definitely not turbocharged!

Computer Simulation of Star Being Devoured By Black Hole

Posted by

This computer simulation shows a star being shredded by the gravity of a massive black hole. Some of the stellar debris falls into the black hole and some of it is ejected into space at high speeds. The areas in white are regions of highest density, with progressively redder colors corresponding to lower-density regions. The blue dot pinpoints the black hole’s location. The elapsed time corresponds to the amount of time it takes for a Sun-like star to be ripped apart by a black hole a million times more massive than the Sun.
