Supermassive Black Holes Might Unravel The Mystifying Fifth Force Of The Universe

Jun 05, 2017

Recent reports are saying that supermassive black holes might unravel the mystifying fifth force of the universe based on the latest studies of space experts.

NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory Found The Evidence Of Earliest Supermassive Black Holes

Jun 02, 2017

A long-standing question in astrophysics is: how and when did supermassive black holes appear and grow in the early universe? New research using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) suggests that an answer to this question lies with the intermittent way giant black holes may consume material in the first billion years after the Big Ban

Astronomers From Austin & Harvard Test The Basic Principle Of Black Hole

May 31, 2017

The astronomers from the University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University test the basic principles of event horizon to seek whether the matter completely vanishes into the supermassive black hole.

Black Hole Quietly Born From Collapsing Massive Star That Skipped Its Supernova Stage

May 26, 2017

A dying star 25 times the size of the Earth's sun was witnessed to leave a black hole after its death.

Milky Way’s ‘Missing Link’ Black Hole Discovered In The Sagittarius Constellation

May 01, 2017

The discovered black hole was mentioned to fill in the "missing link" in supermassive black holes and stellar-mass ones.

NASA Captures Black Hole Flares, Ejection of Corona

Oct 28, 2015

Scientists are starting to learn that these massive X-ray beams are a result of coronas escaping from the black hole speeding at 20 percent the speed of light.

Hubble Spots Collisions and Cosmic Disarray At the Center of Black Hole

May 30, 2015

When it comes to high-speed collisions, nobody here on Earth has anything on black holes. Astronomers have witnessed a new first: two high-speed knots of matter colliding in a sort of rear-end impact. They saw this after creating a time-lapse video of a super-speed jet of plasma as it shot out of a supermassive black hole. The knots of matter were inside the black hole until it blasted them out-and into each other.

Rare Quasar Quartet is the First of Its Kind

May 16, 2015

Imagine winning the Powerball jackpot-more than once. You may have a sense of how a team of astronomers feels after their discovery of a set of four quasars at the visible universe's edge. These brilliant beacons of light are typically spread far apart, but this quartet exists shoved together in only 650,000 light-years of space-equivalent to around a quarter of the distance between our closest big neighbor galaxy Andromeda and the Milky Way.

Large Hadron Collider Could Prove the Existence of Star Trek's Parallel Universe

Mar 27, 2015

Every science fiction fan is familiar with the notion of parallel universes with the Star Trek series being one of the first to popularize the notion. However, thanks to the Large Hadron Collider, we may soon have proof that a parallel universe does, in fact, exist.

Could Dark Matter and Black Holes Cause the Swirl In Your Galaxy?

Feb 21, 2015

Ever seen a snapshot of the universe and wondered just how and what makes the beautiful swirling shapes that modern telescopes now let us see? Imagery of the Horsehead Nebula, the Pillars of Creation, and even the Rose Galaxies have captivated researchers and the public for decades, but finding exactly what causes space dust, planets and stars to conform in such elegant forms has often eluded astronomers studying the infinite wonders of space. But a new study conducted by researchers with the Harvard University Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) reveals that the connection between collections of stars and the elliptical shapes of galaxies may have something to do with dark matter and the presence of black holes at the center of every galactic mass.

Light Signals Discovered by NASA Reveal The Merging of Two Black Holes

Jan 10, 2015

For the first time ever, scientists have seen an unusual light signal that appears to be repeating itself from a distant quasar. And no, before the thought crosses your mind, this is not a sign of extraterrestrial life, but rather a signal from two black holes. These signals are an indication of two supermassive black holes that are in the last stages of merging together.
