NASA’s Outer Space Telescopes Witness Something Coming Out Of A Black Hole For The First Time In History
Everyone knows that black holes are like cosmic vacuum cleaners, sucking in everything around them. But recently, scientists at NASA witnessed something extraordinary.
Using powerful telescopes, they observed an incredible incident at the massive Markarian 335 black hole. A couple of NASA’s outer space telescopes including the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) another space telescope observed a mighty bizarre corona of the black hole launching out of it.
The corona was released with an enormous amount of X-ray energy that has not been observed ever in history.
Dan Wilkins from Saint Mary’s University said, "This is the first ever incident that a corona of a blackhole was launched to a flare. This easily explains that blackholes power some of the brightest objects in the cosmos and this is one of the most significant and unpredictable discoveries that we’ve made so far."
As per Fiona Harrison, NuSTAR’s principal investigator, the nature of the flare was “enigmatic”. However, this phenomenon might have provided a lot of clues about the structure and the size of the blackholes, plus the functioning of it.
This discovery might unlock the secrets of black holes. Luckily, this black hole is millions of light-years away, so it's not a threat to us. But it's still a fascinating reminder of how mysterious and amazing the cosmos can be.
By good luck our corners of the cosmos are located a huge distance away.
Sometimes, we judge that we have a better knowledge and understanding about space. But, the reality is that the things we count as knowledge are just theories which have yet to be disproved.
