Hubble Space Telescope black hole

Artificial intelligence (AI) was utilised by a group of scientists to improve the clarity of the first-ever image of a supermassive black hole. In 2019, the first image of the black hole, nicknamed "Orange Donut," was released. Using a machine learning approach called PRIMO (Principal-component Interferometric Modelling), its formerly fuzzy central region has been sharpened and clarified. Members of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), including main author Lia Medeiros of the Institute for Advanced Study,…

The 2019 release of the first image of a black hole was hailed as a significant scientific achievement. But truth be told, it was a bit blurry - or, as one astrophysicist involved in the effort called it, a "fuzzy orange donut."Scientists on Thursday unveiled a new and improved image of this black hole - a behemoth at the center of a nearby galaxy - mining the same data used for the earlier one but improving its resolution by employing image reconstruction algorithms to fill in gaps in the original telescope…

A supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a 2,00,000-light-year-long condensed trail of newborn stars, twice the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, in its wake, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), US.Captured accidentally by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole was seen racing through the intergalactic space so fast that, within our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. "We think we're seeing a wake behind the…

There are several giant objects floating in space. From massive planets to enormous asteroids and more. But they all pale in comparison to the latest NASA find. The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has detected a 'monster' runaway black hole. Amazingly, NASA has also stated that if the black hole was in our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. The supermassive black hole also weighs as much as 20 million Suns. The strange part about this discovery is the unusual movement pattern of the black…
