Black Hole Bully

This image features a jet from a black hole at the center of a galaxy. The jet is shown striking an impact to its nearby galaxy. Black holes are caused mainly by spacetime deformation due to a very compact mass.

Black Holes Have Simple Feeding Habits

Here’s an image of a black hole found at the center of a spiral galaxy M81. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and some ground-based telescopes provided data which proved the similarities in the behavior of black holes no matter what their sizes are.

Bursting with Stars and Black Holes

This is an artist image of a quasar, a growing black hole. NASA’s Spitzer and Chandra Space Telescopes were able to discover such quasars hiding in galaxies found in the remote universe.

We have written many articles about blackholes for Universe Today. Here’s an article about how to escape from a black hole, and here’s an article about supermassive black holes.
