Red hydrogen gas bubbles, energized by radiation from newly formed stars, add to the galaxy’s visual splendor. Near the galactic core, intensely hot young stars within a gas disk emit powerful X-rays. At the very center, an active galactic nucleus, fueled by a supermassive black hole, produces even stronger X-rays, classifying NGC 1672 as a Seyfert galaxy.
Hyderabad: A few thousand years ago, humans were trying to make wheels and spark a fire from stones without any knowledge about what lies beyond a few miles. Today, forget about miles, we are aware of what lies beyond this planet. Recent declarations by NASA suggest that they have picked up sound waves from space. […]
Daejeon: Astronomers snapped an image of a supermassive black hole for the first time in history. This is the second result of the research team since 2019, when it presented a picture of the M87 black hole. The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) also participated in the research. Scientists said the result is […]
Berlin: Astronomers unveiled the first image of the Supermassive black hole lurking at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy which is four million times more massive than the Sun, terming it a “gentle giant” while announcing the breakthrough on Thursday. The finding, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, greatly improves our understanding of […]
Despite being galaxies far away, the erupting black hole extended across a length equal to 16 moons placed side by side in the night sky. However, it is not visible to the naked eye.
Images released by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration revealed how the black hole, some 55 million light-years away at the centre of galaxy M87 appears in polarised light.
