  1. RE: flipboard.com/@spacecom/space.

    Massive #blackholes #reddots, imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope (#JWST), were long considered a mystery. They are #supermassive black holes from the early universe, dating back to before it was a billion years old. Due to angular momentum, infalling #gas formed a visible #envelope surrounding the hole. #Electromagneticradiation passing through this envelope undergoes a wavelength shift, appearing as a compact structure with a #redspectrum.

  5. Dr. Becky #Smethurst an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford making videos explaining the Universe. She's amazingly brilliant!!! Just sayin'

    "A star so close to the Milky Way’s black hole it feels its spin "
