It's a game that can be going out with a few friends to play as many
holes before dark on a crusty dog track course that has no flags on the greens (if this seems specific, it's because I played this way down here this week and it was a fantastic evening chasing the
sun — just hit it and hope the
hole is
near where your ball landed).
Astrophysicists simulated the fate of a hydrogen cloud as massive as 10,000
suns that suddenly wafted
near a black
hole.
A
sun - size star approaching within 30 solar radii of the monster, they calculate, would be ripped apart by the black
hole's gravitational pull, which would be far stronger on the
near side of the star than on the far side.
Assuming this is the orbital period of hot gas revolving
near the black
hole, the astronomers deduce that the monster weighs 450,000 to 5 million times more than the
sun, agreeing with previous estimates and making the black
hole comparable to the 4 - million - solar - mass one at the Milky Way's center — but located in a galaxy 3.9 billion light - years away.
The new images home in on a region around the black
hole less than 4.2 light - years across — smaller than the distance between the
sun and its
nearest star, says Roopesh
A
near - record supermassive black
hole discovered in a sparse area of the local universe indicates that these monster objects — this one equal to 17 billion
suns — may be more common than once thought, according to University of California, Berkeley, astronomers.
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.
Some solar wind gusts («coronal mass ejections») are caused by explosions
near sunspots, others are caused by
holes in the
Sun's atmosphere («coronal
holes») that spew solar wind streams into interplanetary space.
Astronomers find evidence of enormous black
hole one hundred thousand times more massive than the
sun in a gas cloud
near the galaxy's centre.
