Brilliant outbursts of radiation
from near the black hole had spread outward, struck iron atoms in surrounding gas clouds, and then reflected toward Earth, becoming visible here long after the original eruption.
Scary, but not terribly likely: We are not close to a star about to go supernova, and we're a long way
from the nearest black hole.
The astronomers also noticed that one side of the donor star was always brighter than the other because it was illuminated by X-rays coming
from near the black hole.
Not exact matches
These observations help clarify the origin of the powerful jet of gas streaming
from the galaxy's center at a high fraction of the speed of light: it is likely driven by the swirling matter
near the
black hole's boundary.»
Within
black holes there may well be a gravimetric consistency whereby atomic particles release energy via electron dispersal ratios giving rise to atoms flying apart at
near light speeds
from said release of electrons energy dispersal rates and not via «anti-particles» as Steve Hawking suggests.

black holes therein resides a centrality where atoms collide with such force that they release many of their atoms» electrons resulting in a wave of energy giving rise to particle jets being emitted
from the said
black hole's core.

black hole on a path that would take it
near the edge of the
black hole.
Looking at a
black hole from the outside, it will bend light rays that pass
near it, and in this way it will distort images of the sky.
Hints of their existence came
from either X-ray emissions — thought to arise as the
black holes consumed their companion stars — or the motion of stars
near the centre of some clusters (see Middleweight
black holes are «missing link»).
This particular energy range offers astronomers a detailed look at what is happening
near the event horizon, the region around a
black hole from which light can no longer escape gravity's grasp.
So far, Doeleman and company have only been able to establish that radio emissions
near a
black hole originate
from a specific region whose size they can determine.
The U-shaped features in the data appeared when the
black hole emitted clumps of matter that sped away at
near the speed of light, and passed behind this lens
from the perspective of Earth, the team says.
Previously, astronomers have used x-ray telescopes to observe strong winds very
near the massive
black holes at galactic centers (artist's concept, inset) and infrared wavelengths to detect the vast outflows of cool gas (bluish haze in artist's concept, main image)
from such galaxies as a whole, but they've never done so in the same galaxy.
The amount of data we collected,
from X-rays to ultraviolet to
near - infrared light, is definitely larger than for any of the other candidate rogue
black holes.»
New detections of radio waves
from a repeating fast radio burst have revealed an astonishingly potent magnetic field in the source's environment, indicating that it is situated
near a massive
black hole or within a nebula of unprecedented power.
Until recently, it was not clear what prevented the delicate filaments
from being destroyed by competing gravitational forces, but Hubble Space Telescope images suggest they are supported by magnetic fields generated
near the galaxy's central
black hole.
Scientists can also do reverberation mapping, which uses X-ray telescopes to look for time differences between emissions
from various locations
near the
black hole to understand the orbits of gas and photons around the
black hole.
Light
from near a baby
black hole still enshrouded in a gas cloud would emerge in infrared wavelengths, so redness is a good indicator that you've found one.
Like the fields around our sun, these
black hole's magnetic fields can periodically «reconnect,» a process that could catapult material
from near its surface.
Instead, the X-ray data show the gas
near the
black hole likely originates
from winds produced by a disk - shaped distribution of young massive stars.
Jets of particles are propelled away
from black holes at
near the speed of light.
The observations also showed that radiation
from the
black hole was consistently
near or above the Eddington limit, the point of balance between the force of outward radiation
from the hot gases inside and the gravitation force acting inward.
By measuring the rapid orbits of the stars
near the center of our galaxy, Dr. Ghez and her colleagues have moved the case for a supermassive
black hole at the heart of the Milky Way
from a possibility to a certainty.
An image
from W. M. Keck Observatory
near infrared data shows that G2 survived its closest approach to the
black hole and continues happily on its orbit.
When a
black hole is created
from a supernova
from a massive star or a collision between neutron stars (or a neutron star with a
black hole), one of a pair of bi-polar jets of gamma rays travelling at
near light - speed may be directed at the Earth (more).
This ultra-powerful field becomes better organized and forms two outwardly directed funnels along the new
black hole's rotational axis, which then creates the two bi-polar jets of particles moving
near the speed of light that are detected as a short GRB (NASA news release; Seil Collins, New Scientist, April 13, 2011; and Rezzolla et al, 2011; and more discussion and images
from Bruno Giacomazzo's presentation).
The position of the supermassive
black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, as well as the giant star S2, are shown (inset) in this
near - infrared image
from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile.
Creatures When dropping Toki in a nest, birds now have a «cooldown», so they won't instantly pick you up again when walking out of the nest Birds don't stop anymore when they sense vibration, making them less annoying when accidentically stomping
near them No more random sorting of creatures: they all appear on their assigned depth value, preventing smaller creatures
from sometimes getting lost behind bigger creatures Fixed the «spawning multiple camera birds» bug Slug corpses can't kill anymore, so no more accidentally walking into them and dying Bugs When stomped, berrybugs and copybugs now always hop the same distance (3 tiles), making their behavior more predictible Berrybugs now briefly stop if they detect an edge above their heads while walking on the floor, making it easier to stomp them onto a wall Copybugs and berrybugs get stunned when they're in the trajectory of a to be spawned bubble, so they can't hop / roll away before bubble is spawned Glowy berrybugs now use the same turn animation as normal berrybugs, so no more faster glow bugs Frogs and bubbles Bubbles now prioritize Toki Tori over other entities, so no more accidental berrybug ballooning Added a small delay before catching an entity in a bubble to allow for catching Toki Tori, even if he's a little further away than an entity Added possibility to queue a «turn by whistle» while the frog is running towards a berrybug, so you don't have to wait before being able to let the frog face the desired direction Fixed a problem where a fat frog won't belch anymore Achievements In - menu achievements system, including progress achievements Added a number of new achievements Tokidex completion is now a progress achievement (you can see how far along you are) Fixed the Fried Chicken achievement, so it's less hard to get All electrocuted entities now count for the X-Ray Enthusiast achievement Menu Completely new, streamlined and fast to access menu system Ability to set language
from menu New font Graphics Improved presentation of telepathic Ancient Frog messages, fixed a problem where sometimes they'd spawn multiple times Fixed
black flickering when buttonbashing during fades and level transitions Screenfades are now 100 %
black Added button prompts to the first time you need to use whistle and stomp Areas and puzzles Added l - ife area for Ife < 3 Added an extra landing stone in the wasteland area Added more snow globes: — RRB - Water mountain approach: berrybug in the «pro» puzzle can no longer be lost Water mountain top: frog for Ancient Frog puzzle now starts bloated, added light to make «pro» puzzle easier to execute Shaft top: Small tweak to make sure berrybug isn't killed by the slugs midway through the level Water cave: made the light shaft where you need to whistle the hermit crab a bit wider, created
hole for frogs at end of level to prevent them
from falling down, made some «pro» puzzles a bit more forgiving Dark forest: lowered warp when entering dark area, so it's easier to travel up with a bubble Lava cave: improved bat puzzle Meadow: made some pro puzzles less difficult Hideout: removed alternative solution for Ancient Frog puzzle Descent: made it easier to pick up fat frog at beginning
