- Our Galaxys Monster Black Hole Is Spinning Almost as Fast as . . .
The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate That's just one thing astrophysicists have discovered after developing and applying a new method to tease apart the secrets still hidden in supermassive black hole observations collected by the Event Horizon Telescope
- Supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is . . .
The supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy isn't just spinning — it's doing so at almost maximum speed, dragging anything near it along for the ride
- Is the universe spinning? Strange galaxy motion suggests that . . .
Recent data shows that almost all galaxies in the early universe displayed by JWST appear to rotate in the same direction Shamir’s analysis found up to 50% more galaxies swirling one way, a difference that can even be seen by a non-expert scanning the images
- NASA’s Roman to Peer Into Cosmic ‘Lenses’ to Better Define . . .
Gravitational lenses are made up of at least two cosmic objects In some cases, a single foreground galaxy has enough mass to act like a lens, magnifying a galaxy that is almost perfectly behind it Light from the background galaxy curves around the foreground galaxy along more than one path, appearing in observations as warped arcs and crescents
- Physics - Nobel Prize: Facing the Reality of Black Holes
By observing the path that stars take around the center of our Galaxy, researchers have provided solid evidence for a supermassive black hole These observations, in addition to earlier theoretical proofs of black hole formation, were recognized by the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics (See video below )
- The Great Attractor: What’s Pulling Our Galaxy?
Earth is a tiny speck orbiting an ordinary star in an ordinary galaxy, itself part of a vast cosmic dance choreographed by gravity and dark energy The Great Attractor is a symbol of the unknown—a mystery that invites us to explore, to ask questions, and to peer beyond the veil of the familiar
- Unveiling Extreme Physics with the Galaxy’s Only Double . . .
The gravitational influence each star exerts on the other allows scientists to uncover critical details about their orbits, masses, and more Among these systems, one stands out as an extraordinarily rare and valuable astrophysical laboratory: the double pulsar system PSR J0737−3039A B
