Medicine & TechnologyAstronomers from UCLA's Galactic Center Orbits Initiative have discovered a new class of bizarre objects at the center of our galaxy.
Stars are like living beings that are made of star stuff, one of the longest-lived galactic structures and the source of light in the dark universe. A star dies in several ways, its corpse becomes something else.
As seen in their chemical composition, these massive stars lose most of their mass through explosions and powerful stellar winds then it will collapse into a black hole.
The black hole that rests at the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy glowed brighter than the usual and scientists are left wondering what could have caused it.
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
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.
Astronomers at The University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University have put a basic principle of black holes to the test, showing that matter completely vanishes when pulled in. Their results constitute another successful test for Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
By plotting supermassive black holes from the distant universe, researchers have revealed the large-scale of the distant universe. Scientists say it's the first time such a technique has been used to map the cosmos.
