nasa supermassive black hole

[ad_1] The Event Horizon Telescope, which included a collaboration of 8 telescopes around the world in 2017, captured the first ever image of a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy known as Messier 87. The supermassive black hole is engulfing huge amounts of gas, and that material forms what scientists call an accretion disk. The gas in the disk can heat up to millions of degrees Fahrenheit due to the gas being so dense.Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is a snapshot of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87. Messier 87 is a supergiant elliptical galaxy located about 55 million light-years away towards the constellation of Virgo. Alongside the black hole, relativistic jet blasting from the galaxy's central region can be observed. This is due to ioni...

[ad_1] The final moments of a star before being destroyed by a black hole have been recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope. A black hole is a place in space where the pull of gravity is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape. It is an extremely dense region of space formed by collapse of a giant star at the end of its life cycle. A supermassive Black Hole forms due to merging of black holes. The biggest black hole is a Supermassive black hole which resides in the center of galaxies and is capable of engulfing everything in its way. These black holes have masses that are more than 1 million suns together. Now, scientists have discovered a star actually being eaten by a supermassive black hole. Scientists, using the Hubble Space Telescope have recorded the final moments ...
