  16. Second-biggest #blackhole in the #MilkyWay found
    As far as black holes go, there are two categories: #supermassive that live at center of #galaxies (and we're unsure about how they got there) and stellar mass ones formed through #supernovae that end lives of massive stars. Although #stellarmass #blackholes are several times the mass of the Sun, they aren't really all that heavy in the grand scheme of things, and the on in our galaxy is close, 2,000 light-years distant.

  23. Gravitational waves produce a background hum across the whole universe |

    The fabric of the universe is constantly rippling, according to astronomers who have discovered a background buzz of #gravitational #waves. These waves may be produced by #supermassive #black #holes merging across the universe, but they might also have more exotic origins, such as leftover ripples in space-time created shortly after the #big #bang.

    Pinning down their true nature could tell us about how supermassive black holes grow and affect their host galaxies, or even about how the universe evolved in its first moments.

    To find this mysterious hum, astronomers have been tracking rapidly rotating neutron stars called #pulsars that blast out light with extreme regularity. By looking at different pulsars across the Milky Way, astronomers can effectively use them as a galaxy-sized gravitational-wave #detector called a pulsar #timing #array.

    While individual gravitational waves, which are ripples in space-time created by massive objects colliding, have been seen regularly since the first detection in 2015, the object of this search is different. Those previous gravitational waves all have a #localised origin and rise and fall hundreds of times a second, but the newly-discovered signal is more like a gravitational wave #background that would permeate the entire universe at much #lower #frequencies, similar in concept to the cosmic microwave background, which is radiation left over by the big bang and seen all over the universe today.

  29. Review: SUPERMASSIVE 2023 (ONE-SHOT)
    We get another Supermassive this year from writers Kyle Higgins, Ryan Parrott, Melissa Flores, and Mat Groom with art from Daniele Di Nicole. The Massive-verse has been a bright spot in comics the last 3 years or so and Super-Massive is a great way to bring several characters together in a story that is still related to the individual stories. The story begins with...

  30. 10,000 times the size of the Sun? That's heck of massive gigantic monster stars, it's insane. 😳 ☀️

    "...they lived and died a long time ago. Despite having thousands of times the fuel of the Sun, they burn hot and fast, and they die young. The average lifespan of a supermassive star is something like two million years, as compared to the roughly 10-billion-year lifespan of the Sun."

  31. The #Universe is a violent place where even the life of a #star can be cut short. This occurs when a star finds itself in a "bad" neighborhood, specifically near a #supermassive black hole.

  32. UCLA and Keck #Observatory scientists analyzed over a decade’s worth of data about 16 young #supermassive #stars orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way #galaxy. Supermassive stars typically are formed in pairs, but the new study found that all 16 of the stars were singletons.
