The first class consists of void finders that try to find empty regions of space based on local galaxy density. [28] The second class are those which try to find voids via the geometrical structures in the dark matter distribution as suggested by the galaxies. [ 29 ]
At the core of the galaxy is a supermassive black hole that heats the intracluster medium through the action of friction from infalling gases and dust. The gamma ray bursts from the galaxy extend out to several million light years of the cluster. As with other similar elliptical galaxies, only a fraction of the mass of NGC 4889 is in the form ...
The star and black hole orbit each other with a period of 185.59 days and an eccentricity of 0.45. The star is similar to the Sun, with about 0.93 M ☉ and 0.99 R ☉, and a temperature of about 5,850 K (5,580 °C; 10,070 °F), while the black hole has a mass of about 9.62 M ☉. [3] Given this mass, the black hole's Schwarzschild radius ...
Aerial view of the Sansha Yongle Blue Hole — the previous record holder — on July 24, 2016 in Xisha Islands, Sansha City, Hainan Province of China. ... a portal to both space and time like a ...
The first deep-field image to receive a great deal of public attention was the Hubble Deep Field, observed in 1995 with the WFPC2 camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. Other space telescopes that have obtained deep-field observations include the Chandra X-ray Observatory , the XMM-Newton Observatory, the Spitzer Space Telescope , and the James ...
The most powerful telescope to be launched into space has made history by detecting a record number of new stars in a distant galaxy. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, history's largest and most ...
NGC 6822 (also known as Barnard's Galaxy, IC 4895, or Caldwell 57) is a barred irregular galaxy approximately 1.6 million light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. Part of the Local Group of galaxies, it was discovered by E. E. Barnard in 1884, with a six-inch refractor telescope .
Known as Dean’s Blue Hole, this geological wonder located off the coast of Long Island is a staggering 663 feet deep, making it one of the deepest blue holes in the world and also an area ripe ...
