Scientists say antibiotic resistance is reaching dangerously high levels around the world, with research suggesting that superbugs — or strains of bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi that are resistant to most medications – have joined the ranks of the world’s leading infectious disease killers.RELATED: CDC flags increase in stomach bug that’s becoming 'extensively drug-resistant'The researchers from the University of Santiago de Compostela-Lugo analyzed 100 meat products – 25 each of chicken, turkey, beef and pork – chosen at random from grocery stores in northwest Spain.They found that 40 out of 100 contained multidrug-resistant E.

coli strains, and E. coli strains capable of causing severe infections in people were also "highly prevalent," according to a statement.

NASA’s new black hole video is both terrifying and astonishing
black holes actually are.“These monsters lurk in the centers of most big galaxies, including our own Milky Way, and contain between 100,000 and tens of billions of times more mass than our Sun,” NASA shares in an explanation of the video, adding that the animation “highlights the ‘super’ in supermassive black holes.”The video, released by the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center Conceptual Image Lab, shows the gargantuan scale of black holes in comparison to other celestial features, most notably the Sun.Viewers are treated to a mind-bending comparison of how these black holes compare in size to our solar system and to each other.In just over 90 seconds, the animation tours 10 black holes of increasing size. Some of the holes are so big they make our solar system look like a speck of dust.“Only one of these colossal objects resides in our own galaxy, and it lies 26,000 light-years away,” the agency wrote, referring to supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, which was first photographed just last year.Real and conceptual images of black holes don’t actually show the black hole itself, but rather a luminous disc surrounding the hole that’s comprised of gas and dusk, called an “accretion disc.”This immensely hot disc is swirly rapidly around the black hole and while some of it will fall in and never be seen again, most of it gets spit back out.“Black holes are terrible at eating things.
