Black Hole Spin Discovery Could Shed Light on General Relativity and the Lifespan of Stars


Rare Discovery! 3 Monster Black Holes Are About to Collide Space

A giant one. The central galaxy of the cluster hosts a supermassive black hole, weighing millions of times the mass of the Sun. That black hole isn't alone, it's accompanied by torrents of gas swirling around it.


Astronomers Find Biggest Black Holes Yet The New York Times

Like a bell, the black hole would oscillate at one main frequency and multiple overtones, he found. The oscillations would quickly fade as the black hole radiated gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of space itself. It was a sweet problem, says Teukolsky, now at Cornell University. And it was completely abstract—until 5 years ago.

Are Black Holes Made of Dark Matter? RealClearScience

The black hole has been called M87* by astronomers and has recently been given the Hawaiian name of "Powehi." The light from that gas and dust (known as the accretion disk) is polarized.


New Black Hole Discovery Settles an Astronomer's Bet The National Interest

Microlensing is pretty much what the name suggests. When astronomers get extremely lucky, a wandering black hole and pass between us and a random distant star. The light from that star bends around the black hole because of its gravity, and from our point of view, the star will appear to temporarily flare in brightness.


What the NEW black hole discovery tells us!

Black Holes. Black holes are among the most mysterious cosmic objects, much studied but not fully understood. These objects aren't really holes. They're huge concentrations of matter packed into very tiny spaces. A black hole is so dense that gravity just beneath its surface, the event horizon, is strong enough that nothing - not even.

Discovery Of Enormous Stellar Mass Black Hole Perplexes Astronomers

Cambridge, MA -- Astronomers have discovered the most distant black hole yet seen in X-rays, using NASA telescopes. The black hole is at an early stage of growth that had never been witnessed before, where its mass is similar to that of its host galaxy. This result may explain how some of the first supermassive black holes in the universe formed.
