BLACK HOLE

For the first time, scientists from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) witnessed a supermassive black hole consuming large amounts of material on a regular basis. According to the agencies, the black hole consumes about four Moons’ worth of material multiple times a day.

NASA was able to capture a stunning photo of the Fireworks galaxy known as NGC 6946. According to the scientists, the incredible light show coming from the galaxy may have been produced by a black hole devouring a star.

A physicist claimed that Earth and the entire universe could already be inside a black hole. According to the physicist, this theory is related to the idea that the Big Bang was actually a black hole.

Astronomers recently discovered supermassive black holes spewing "UFOs."

A physicist offered a serious warning regarding the possibility of a black hole completely devouring Earth. According to the physicist, there’s a chance the planet could get thrown in the middle of a black hole in the future.

NASA provided an official answer regarding the growing concerns about the Sun exploding and turning into a massive black hole that can devour Earth.

Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson gruesomely described how humans will die if they get sucked into a black hole. According to the scientist, the human body will go through an excruciating process called spaghettification once this happens.

The black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is usually very dim but in May, astronomers using the Keck telescopes spotted an unusual pulse from Sagittarius A*.

An astronomer warned that the biggest black hole ever discovered indicates that it is possible for the whole universe to be devoured by one. According to the scientists who discovered the new black hole, it is 40 billion times more massive than the Sun.

Holm 15A* is estimated to have a mass 40 billion times that of the sun. Black holes this size are called supermassive black holes, and only a few of these have been found.

Researchers have discovered three black holes currently locked in a dizzying orbit around each other. Despite their observations, the researchers are still not exactly sure what will happen to the three black holes.

A team of researchers has discovered a new black hole that seems to be eating its way through the Milky Way galaxy. According to the researchers, the black hole is currently about as big as Jupiter.

Scientists were trying to confirm that the accretion disk does not exist below certain luminosities, but they found a disk normally seen in objects that are 1,000 or even 100,000 times more luminous. 

Gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binaries are up to a million times louder than those previously detected by LIGO. The gravitational waves the two black holes generate prior to collision already dwarf those previously detected from the collision of small black holes and neutron stars.  

NASA has awarded a new contract to SpaceX that involves visiting and closely studying supermassive black holes. Aside from these, the new mission will also focus on observing neutron stars and pulsar wind nebulae.

The blackholes are just spinning themselves away.

A physicist from Yale University identified the types of black holes that can destroy Earth, either by completely swallowing it or hurling it towards the Sun. According to the physicist, these scenarios are likely to happen based on current predictions.

According to astronomers, the Milky Way, home of Earth and the Solar System, is expected to suffer the same fate as the other galaxies that were destroyed by the collision of their black holes.

A newly discovered black hole in a nearby dwarf galaxy could provide scientists a deeper understanding of how its larger counterparts were formed.

Astronomers think the galactic winds, which can reach speeds of thousands of kilometers a second, are responsible for emptying out the gas reserves in galaxies and regulating star formation.

The region around the supermassive black hole is filled with stars, interstellar clouds of dust and a large tank of warm and colder gases.
