The post Aisha Bowe Makes History On Blue Origin’s First All-Female Space Flight appeared first on Travel Noire. The quasi-periodic eruptions of X-rays from a black hole 300 million light-years away are unlike any researchers have ever seen before.

The launch was a particularly special moment for those watching at Washtenaw Community College on Monday morning as they cheered on one of their own alumnae, Aisha Bowe.

Six women boarded Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, marking the first all-female flight since 1963. That flight saw cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova, orbit Earth 48 times on a solo mission lasting three days.
