Black hole that’s 33 times bigger than the sun found ‘lurking undetected’ close to Earth | Science & Tech News
admin
Astronomers have discovered the Milky Way’s “most massive” stellar black hole yet. The newly discovered black hole is 33 times bigger than the sun and 2,000 light years away from us. A stellar black hole is formed when a star collapses – and so far, the ones found in our galaxy have been about 10…

Scientists discover oldest black hole ever that grew far more quickly than expected | Science & Tech News
admin
Scientists say they have discovered the oldest black hole ever – and it dates back to the early universe more than 13 billion years ago. The supermassive black hole – about six million times the mass of the sun – is so huge that it should have taken a billion years to grow to its…

Scientists discover oldest ever black hole and say it could explain universe’s mysteries | Science & Tech News
admin
Astronomers say they have discovered the oldest black hole yet. It was formed 470 million years after the Big Bang and was detected in X-rays, using NASA telescopes. There is “strong evidence” it was born “massive” – and is believed to weigh between 10% and 100% the mass of all the stars in its galaxy.…

Supermassive black hole shown firing out mysterious jet in first ever image of phenomenon captured by astronomers | Science & Tech News
admin
A black hole has been pictured expelling a powerful jet for the first time. The image shows a glowing circle at the centre of a galaxy known as Messier 87 (M87), around 55 million light-years from Earth. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, which is 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion kilometres).…

Supermassive black hole pictures: Scientists release new sharper images after using technology to fill gaps | World News
admin
Scientists have released new, clearer images of a supermassive black hole which was first discovered in 2019. Â The new image retains the distinctive shape that the first image was compared to – one astrophysicist refers to the original as a “fuzzy orange doughnut” – but is far sharper. Four years ago, the global Event…

‘Runaway’ black hole tearing through universe creates ‘astonishing’ trail of stars, say NASA | Science & Tech News
admin
A runaway black hole is tearing through the universe, leaving a trail of stars in its wake that’s never been seen before, NASA says. The supermassive black hole weighs as much as 20 million suns – and it’s travelling so fast that if it were in our solar system, it could travel from Earth to…

Earth’s ‘black hole police’ discover gravitational singularity near Milky Way | Science & Tech News
admin
An international team of astronomers known as the “black hole police” have discovered a dormant black hole located right next to the Milky Way. The team, including Kareem El-Badry of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics – himself nicknamed the “black hole destroyer” – is famed throughout the astronomy community for debunking new discoveries of gravitational…
