Image: Storm in the Teacup quasar
This image shows a quasar nicknamed the Teacup due to its shape. A quasar is an active galaxy that is powered by material falling into its central supermassive black hole. They are extremely luminous objects located at great distances from Earth. The Teacup is 1.1 billion light years away and was thought to be a dying quasar until recent X-ray observations…
Black hole may have swallowed a neutron star
Astrophysicists have detected the gravitational waves produced by a black hole colliding with a neutron star. Originally proposed by Albert Einstein a… Source: https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/327481/black-hole-may-have-swallowed-a-neutron-star…
LIGO and Virgo detect neutron star smash-ups
On April 25, 2019, the National Science Foundation’s Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the European-based Virgo detector registered gravitational waves from what appears likely to be a crash between two neutron stars—the dense remnants of massive stars that previously exploded. One day later, on April 26, the LIGO-Virgo network spotted another candidate source with a potentially interesting twist: it may…
LIGO may have just spotted a black hole devouring a neutron star
In a cosmic clash of the titans, we may have just spotted a black hole eat a neutron star – the first collision seen between a mixed pair of these massive objects Source: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2201200-ligo-may-have-just-spotted-a-black-hole-devouring-a-neutron-star/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=home…
Black Hole Spits Out High-Energy Jets at Near Light-Speed
Black holes gobble up most matter around them, but some of it escapes, spewing nearly-light-speed jets of material. Source: https://www.livescience.com/65357-messier-87-galaxy-image.html
