By: Alfredo Carpineti/IFL Science Astronomers from Keio University, Japan, have observed what looks like the largest intermediate-mass black hole within the Milky Way. The object is estimated to weigh 100,000 times the mass of the Sun and is located near the center of the galaxy. The study, published in Nature Astronomy, focused on a large molecular…
Scientists Just Made A First Ever Observation Of Einstein’s Theory Of General Relativity
By: Karla Lant/Futurism New analysis of data from the ESO’s VLT and other telescopes reveals stars orbiting near the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way exhibit relativity effects. Future analysis may reveal more support for relativity and new physics. NEW OBSERVATIONS Scientists have applied new analytical techniques to data gleaned from the European Southern Observatory’s…
New Evidence Reveals Black Hole Event Horizons Are All Too Real
By: Peter Dockrill/Science Alert Scientists have found new evidence to support the idea that matter vanishes completely when it falls into a supermassive black hole, suggesting Einstein was right about these unquenchable voids lurking throughout the Universe. The findings show that black hole event horizons – the invisible barriers beyond which nothing can escape the intense pull…
