Supermassive Black Hole at the Center of the Galaxy
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 27 Αυγ 2015
Feel
the pull of the largest object in our galaxy, a supermassive black
hole. Astronomers are discovering its properties by probing the objects
that are buzzing around it at mind-boggling speeds.
From a
distance, our galaxy would look like a flat spiral, some 100,000 light
years across, with pockets of gas, clouds of dust, and about 400 billion
stars rotating around the galaxys center. Thick dust and blinding
starlight have long obscured our vision into the mysterious inner
regions of the galactic center. And yet, the clues have been piling up,
that something important, something strange is going on in there.
Astronomers tracking stars in the center of the galaxy have found the
best proof to date that black holes exist. Now, they are shooting for
the first direct image of a black hole.
