Astronomers discover the existence of a'black hole star' The never-before-seen objects are gargantuan, immensely bright, and ancient. More information Adding us as a Preferred Source in Google by using this link indicates that you would like to see more of our content in Google News results. Astronomers have discovered a "black hole star," an extremely bright red spot in the early universe that appears to be a new type of astrophysical object. It resembles an enormous star, but its energy production is closer to what a black hole might generate. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week.

This image features data from Webb's NIRCam (Near Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid Infrared Instrument) to capture the most detailed mid-infrared view yet of the field that hosts the highly evolved star IRS 3, which is located just 0.55 light-years from Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way galaxy's central supermassive black hole. An international team of astronomers have discovered that dust and water can form and survive surprisingly close to this supermassive black hole.

This artist's concept depicts a tidal disruption event, which occurs when a star passes fatally close to a supermassive black hole. Crumbs of the splintering star heat up as they swirl around the black hole, creating a glow astronomers can see from far across the cosmos, and the black hole launches a relativistic jet into space.

The Chandra X-Ray Observatory has gathered over 1.3 million detections in 27 years. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory is considered one of the agency's greatest achievements, but it's not necessarily as recognizable as siblings like the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes . However, since 1999, the powerful spacecraft has peered deep into the cosmos to provide astronomers with never-before-seen glimpses of the Milky Way galaxy . As the observatory nears its 27th anniversary, NASA is highlighting its Chandra Source Catalog (CSC), an absolutely massive archive of visualization data collected over the years.

Incredible images show the black hole erupting like a'cosmic volcano', with enough force to reshape its entire host galaxy. Spanning almost one million light-years, these plumes of cosmic lava are nearly 10 times wider than the Milky Way. Lead researcher Dr Shobha Kumari, of Midnapore City College in India, says: 'It's like watching a cosmic volcano erupt again after ages of calm.'

Spanning 1 million light-years, J1007+3540's plasma jets are nearly 10 times wider than the Milky Way. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. A supermassive black hole is reawakening inside a distant galaxy cluster--and after almost 100 million years of slumber, astronomers now say it's making up for lost time. According to a study published today in, J1007+3540 is erupting like a volcano and spewing plasma across interstellar space. In fact, it can lay dormant for eons.

Two X-ray space telescopes captured the never-before-seen blast 130 million light-years away. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. A never-before-seen blast from a supermassive black hole was spotted by two sophisticated X-ray space telescopes . This giant black hole about 130 million light-years away from Earth whipped up powerful winds, flinging material out into space at 37,282 miles per second. This particular supermassive black hole is lurking within the spiral galaxy NGC 3783.

A supermassive black hole's star snack lit up the cosmos like never before. This artist's concept depicts a supermassive black hole in the process of shredding a massive star--at least 30 times the mass of our Sun--to pieces. Scientists propose this is what happened around the distant black hole referred to as J2245+3743, which in 2018, brightened dramatically to create the brightest black hole flare ever recorded, shining with the light of 10 trillion suns. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. It's hard to wrap your head around the fundamentals of a black hole .
