NASA's Chandra Observatory Images Gas Flowing Toward Black Hole

Black Hole Attracts Gas With Intense Gravity

A black hole at the center of a large galaxy has been seen attracting the motion of gas with its intense gravity and dominating the flow of gas towards it. As gas flows toward a black hole, it becomes squeezed, making it hotter and brighter, a phenomenon now confirmed by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.
