NASA has selected a science mission that will allow astronomers to explore, for the first time, the hidden details of some of the most extreme and exotic astronomical objects, such as stellar and supermassive black holes, neutron stars and pulsars. […]

NASA: Experts Link Black Hole ‘Wind’ To Star-Forming Gas

August 4, 2016 nasa.gov 0

By combining observations from the Japan-led Suzaku X-ray satellite and the European Space Agency’s infrared Herschel Space Observatory, scientists have connected a fierce “wind” produced near a galaxy’s monster black hole to an outward torrent of cold gas a thousand light-years across. […]

X-Ray Echoes of Shredded Star Provide Close-Up Look Of ‘Killer’ Black Hole

June 25, 2016 Frances Reddy, NASA 0

The intense tidal pull of a monster black hole shredded a star that passed too close. When X-rays produced in this event first reached Earth on March 28, 2011, they were detected by NASA’s Swift satellite, which notified astronomers around the world. […]
