Wow, Quite A Career!

Video for my newly released book, Pathway to the Stars: Part 7, Span of Influence. As always, it was fun putting it together. (Please help to get the word out! Thank you!) <3  "To be worthy to journey the stars, conditions must be such that if a group of explorers were to return home many millennia later, humanity will not have faded away into nothing. Instead, they will have preserved the homeworld and home solar system, and even improved upon the beauty, the abundance, and the ability of longevity of life in every way that is positive and possible." 

Eliza Williams works with her team in the Pathway organization to increase her span of influence throughout the world. Journey with Vesha Celeste as she continues her adventures with Yesha Alevtina in the Virtual Universe, understanding more fully how Eliza's team has become the enigmatic propagator of the future. With tech cities spanning the Solar System yet hidden from those who have not been read-in, humanity will be breath taken to behold them. Eliza takes on some of the biggest titans of every industry and teaches them what she believes will fuel the future -- kindness, shared-well-being, compassion, and consent, or what she coins as Universal Ethics!

(I got a little artsy for the promo videos and wanted to share...) PATHWAY TO THE STARS: PART 2, ELIZA WILLIAMS is the second in the space opera booklet series, PATHWAY TO THE STARS. "We need to understand how dark energy and dark matter work, find ways to slow down the expansion or cause the Universe to breathe just enough to protect itself and all of life along with it. We need everyone who is willing." ~ Yesha Alevtina talking with Eliza Williams The story continues, Experience the early life of our future scientific and political hero, Eliza Williams, and the beginning of a new era! Vesha Celeste continues her training and journey with Yesha Alevtina, who shows and teaches her about Eliza Williams, through complete experiential immersion in the Virtual Universe. With the added advantages of time-dilation, neural linking, and nano-technology giving her tactile-reference, she sees Eliza’s life as if she were Eliza, herself. Vesha witnesses the critical aspects that lead to Eliza’s transformation and the formation of Pathway LLC. Eliza’s work to create the first biopods for physiological and neurological optimizations will be one of her primary vehicles to drive all of her advances and designs, solar-system-wide. There is a lot for Vesha to learn, and she too will play an integral role in our journeys throughout the cosmos, as this story progresses. Each ability she experiences in others, her optimized mind will be capable of learning and expounding upon exponentially. Enjoy the second part of this space opera booklet series, as we see our team of heroes doing what they can to help humanity in their quest to save the Universe one very-important step at a time. Enjoy this continuing saga as we are introduced to Eliza Williams, a critical leader-in-the-making, in this pathway to the stars! Available in paperback on Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble online. eBook available for $2.99 via Kindle eBooks. Audiobook is in the works, narrated and produced by Allison Taylor. #spaceopera #spaceoperabooks #scifibooks #scifi #fantasy #books #solarsystem #CRISPR #neuroscience #longevity #wellbeingfirst #pathwaytothestars https://www.instagram.com/p/B1YlbtWhFxK/?igshid=lovyil9nitpj

Black-Hole Powered Jets Forge Fuel for Star Formation

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered a surprising connection between a supermassive black hole and the galaxy where it resides. 

Powerful radio jets from the black hole – which normally suppress star formation – are stimulating the production of cold gas in the galaxy’s extended halo of hot gas. This newly identified supply of cold, dense gas could eventually fuel future star birth as well as feed the black hole itself.

The researchers used ALMA to study a galaxy at the heart of the Phoenix Cluster, an uncommonly crowded collection of galaxies about 5.7 billion light-years from Earth.

The central galaxy in this cluster harbors a supermassive black hole that is in the process of devouring star-forming gas, which fuels a pair of powerful jets that erupt from the black hole in opposite directions into intergalactic space. Astronomers refer to this type of black-hole powered system as an active galactic nucleus (AGN).
