The 2020 world champion switched to the factory Honda squad for this season after Suzuki quit the series at the end of last year. Mir is the fifth different rider in six years to partner Marc Marquez at Honda, following Dani Pedrosa in 2018, Lorenzo in 2019, Alex Marquez in 2020 and Espargaro in 2021/2022. Pedrosa’s final year was his first winless one in MotoGP , while Lorenzo’s MotoGP career was effectively ended by the woes he suffered at Honda. Alex Marquez has since departed to Gresini Ducati having struggled at LCR Honda over the last two years. Mir’s season has been a shocker so far having scored just five points from the first five rounds in a generally tough year for Honda – albeit one in which Alex Rins did win the Americas GP for LCR. Following a double crash at the French GP, Mir admits he is “scared” of suffering the same fate as Lorenzo and Espargaro at Honda given the difficulties he currently faces. “For sure I’m scared , for sure, because I want to win,” h
Astronomers have watched as a black hole tears a star into a “ donut ” and then eats it. The process is one of the most violent and extreme in the universe: when a star gets too close to a black hole, it tears it up, eating the star but also spewing radiation out. It is known as a “tidal disruption event”. Scientists have watched as that happens, using the Hubble Space Telescope to record the final moments of the star as it was eaten up. Researchers hope to use the observations and other like it to better understand what happens when a star falls into the abyss and is torn apart in such a way. Nasa’s Hubble Space Telescope is unable to see the process as it happens, since the new example is almost 300 million light years away. But they can see the light that is thrown out when it does happen, and examine that light for the clues to what happens to the star. Researchers have seen many such examples of tidal disruption events around black holes. About 100 of them have been do
