NOEL KING, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Noel King. There are gaggles of geese and murders of crows, but what do you call a bunch of black holes in the cosmos? Astronomers found dozens of black holes looming around a cluster of stars. And as part of a newly coined, quote, "Black Hole Week," NASA crowdsourced that question on Twitter. The suggestions rolled in - a crush, a mosh pit, a silence, a scream. It is tough. What's the plural for an enigma? It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
