  1. 1-minute backyard astronomy!

    Episode 2: Centaurus A 🌀

    Have you met this excellent Galaxy? Have you seen it in radio light? Have you seen the jets from the supermassive black hole?! 💨

  2. Overmassive black holes from the early Universe - too big for the galaxies that they inhabit.

    Super-Eddington accretion phase is defined by extreme (mass inflow) rates exceeding the so-called classical "Eddington Limit".

    It's like seeing a family walking down the street, and they have two six-foot teenagers, but they also have with them a six-foot-tall toddler. That's a bit of a problem. How did the toddler get so tall? And it's the same for supermassive black holes in the universe. How did they get so massive so quickly?

  10. Could a world orbit *this close* to a black hole and be habitable for humans and forests...even *with* spacesuits? Perhaps not. But one can dream...my own artwork, "Tree Climber's Moon with black hole".

  11. In this case, one possibility is that a very energetic cosmic ray interacted w/the cosmic microwave background [leftover radiation from the #BigBang] & produced this #neutrino. Another is that the particle was created when a “#blazar,” a #galaxy w/a #SupermassiveBlackHole at its center, gobbled up stars. But the debate is only beginning.
    
Stephanie Wissel, a PennState neutrino physicist, not involved in the research, called it a “knock your socks off” observation & a remarkable stroke of luck.

  12. 🚨 Scientists have detected the *longest* jets ever streaming from a supermassive black hole! 🌌 Using the LOFAR radio telescope, they found that the plasma jets stretch an incredible 23 million light-years—about 140 Milky Way galaxies lined up! 🤯 This massive discovery gives us a glimpse into the early universe and the power of black holes.

  13. Today’s #Spacetober prompt is Hubble. This print is built up with layers of ink on a gel plate and illustrates a Super Massive Blackholes (SMBH) with relativistic jets. Hubble provided the first observational evidence of the existence of SMBHs. Sharp images from Hubble have helped astronomers determine the abundance of SMBHs and their influence on galaxies and how they evolve over time.
