Black Star (semiclassical Gravity)
A black star is a gravitational object composed of matter. It is a theoretical alternative to the black hole concept from general relativity. The theoretical construct was created through the use of semiclassical gravity theory. A similar structure should also exist for the Einstein–Maxwell–Dirac equations system, which is the (super) classical limit of quantum electrodynamics, and for the Einstein–Yang–Mills–Dirac system, which is the (super) classical limit of the standard model. A black star does not require an event horizon, and may or may not be a transitional phase between a collapsing star and a singularity. A black star is created when matter compresses at a rate significantly less than the free fall velocity of a hypothetical particle falling to the center of its star. Quantum processes create vacuum polarization, producing a form of degeneracy pressure preventing spacetime (and the particles held within it) from occupying the same space at the same time. Th ...

Motör Militia
Motör Militia (also known as Motor Militia) is a Bahraini heavy metal band. They are regarded as one of the first heavy metal bands in the Persian Gulf and Middle East area to record and release a full-length album of original material on an independent label. In 2003, Motör Militia built a following based on word of mouth promotion in their local and neighboring Middle Eastern music communities. At the same time, members of the group began interacting with many other bands in their local heavy metal scene, organizing DIY heavy metal and hard rock concerts at a pace faster than previously realized. This, in addition to the band's decision to play sets consisting almost entirely of original material (and subsequently recording and releasing it), influenced many local groups to do the same. Popular for their atypical cover song selections, live shows, and original compositions, the band remains well known in Middle Eastern heavy metal and hard rock music communities. Biogra ...

Type 54 pistols are also known colloquially as "Black Star" pistols (Traditional Chinese:黑星手槍, Simplified Chinese: 黑星手枪) due to the five-pointed star engraved on its all-black grip panel. Description The Type 54 is the improved version of the Type 51 (Chinese copy of the TT-33) produced after the Korean War.

Blackstar (spacecraft)
Blackstar is the reported code-name of a secret United States orbital spaceplane system. The possible existence of the Blackstar program was reported in March 2006 by ''Aviation Week & Space Technology'' (''Aviation Week'', ''AWST'') magazine; the magazine reported that the program had been underway since at least the early 1990s, and that the impetus for Blackstar was to allow the United States government to retain orbital reconnaissance capabilities jeopardized following the 1986 ''Challenger'' disaster. The article also said that the United States Air Force's Space Command was unaware of Blackstar, suggesting it was operated by an intelligence agency such as the National Reconnaissance Office. ''Aviation Week'' speculated that such a spacecraft could also have offensive military capabilities, a concept colloquially known as "The Space Bomber".
