Astronomy News Did We Discover the Ninth Planet, or a Baby Black Hole? Earlier this year, astronomers found more evidence of Planet Nine’s existence, backing the 2016’s discovery of a ninth planet in our solar system, orbiting far beyond Neptune. Recently, another team of astronomers has come up with a fascinating idea that Planet Nine is not actually a planet, but rather a mini black hole. In other […] Written by Safwan Azeem 2019-10-132021-09-19 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Astronomy News A Humongous Black Hole – Should It Even Exist? Multiple experts and astrophysicists have recently been discussing reports that the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave detectors have picked up a signal of a huge black hole that’s reportedly as heavy as 100 suns. Black holes, being intensely dense spheres with gravity so strong that everything gets trapped inside them, including light, are formed from the […] Written by Safwan Azeem 2019-10-062021-09-16 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Astronomy News Astrophysicists Have Found a New Window into the World of Black Holes Elena Murchikova, a theoretical astrophysicist at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., worked with her colleagues to use data gathered in 2015 by the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) to discover a thin accretion disk of cool gas extremely close to Milky Way’s black hole, Sagittarius A*. Material from the inner disk was […] Written by Alizah Gul Memon 2019-06-242021-06-27 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
