Incredible picture of a massive black hole that is so powerful it has prevented TRILLIONS of stars f

[thesolar65]

NASA has released a stunning image of a black hole that is so massive and so powerful that it has prevented trillions of stars from forming around it.

The black hole is surrounded by super-heated gases - shown in purple. At the very center of the gas is a very galaxy cluster - that is home to the black hole.

Galaxies can be seen swirling around - and bending into the black hole, pictured in yellow.

The entire spectacular occurrence is located 3.9 billion light years from Earth in a galaxy cluster called RX J1532.

The phenomenon was captured by a compilation of images taken by two of NASA most powerful space telescopes - the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope.

The galaxy at the center of the gaseous cloud is massive, about a quadrillion - a thousand trillion - times the size of our sun.

The black hole is one of the most powerful ever recorded.

Black holes are rips in space time that prevent anything, including light, from escaping. They are formed when a massive star collapses in on itself after its life cycle ends.

NASA astronomers have deduced, with the help of the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array in New Mexico, that the black hole is beginning to drill massive holes in the gaseous mass.
The holes, which can be seen on either size of the black hole, are each the size of our own Milky Way - about 100,000 light years across.

Astronomers believe that the 'cavities' in the gas are releasing shock fronts into the gas that keep it super-heated - and prevent stars from forming.

The energy is the result of the cavities expanding rapidly.

That, scientists believe, is how the powerful black hole is able to create a massive - dead space in the galaxy cluster.

Extreme power: The black hole can be seen in center of the galaxy cluster in the middle of the purple gaseous mass. Galaxy clusters can be seen in yellow

WOW...Spectacular....

Whoa!!whoa!!
Beyond my comprehension ...really.
So are we trudging towards the end???wont such black holes eat up the galaxies soon??

here read this ...what Stephen Hawkins have to say on black hole.......don't loose your hope, it's too soon.....humanity will continue to survive, till we shift to other planets...that's why god has given us a gift --- called brain...



OTTAWA - YN - Black holes are the source of endless fascination and speculation. Do they hold the secrets of the universe and perhaps even the key to time travel?
We may never know the answers to those questions because famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking says black holes don’t actually exist. At least not in the way we’ve been taught to think about them. "The absence of event horizons mean that there are no black holes - in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity," Hawking writes in a new paper entitled, "Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes."
So, what does that mean exactly? Well, what Hawking is saying is that he doesn’t believe "event horizons," gravitational traps from which even light cannot escape, actually exist. It’s a "mind-bending theory" as New Scientist puts it, which ensures the debate will continue 40 years after Hawking first brought the concept of black holes to the public. In his lecture “Into a Black Hole,” Hawking described how an event horizon works:
“Falling through the event horizon, is a bit like going over Niagara Falls in a canoe. If you are above the falls, you can get away if you paddle fast enough, but once you are over the edge, you are lost.There's no way back. As you get nearer the falls, the current gets faster. This means it pulls harder on the front of the canoe, than the back. there's a danger that the canoe will be pulled apart. It is the same with black holes.”
But now, Hawking says event horizons don’t exist. However, he does say that “apparent horizons” could exist, meaning that light technically could escape from the deep gravitational pull of a black hole. Put simply, an apparent horizon would only temporarily hold light and information, eventually releasing them back into space.
Though, “eventually” is a pretty relative term when we’re discussing the nature of spacetime. “The picture Hawking gives sounds reasonable,” Don Page, a physicist and expert on black holes at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada told Nature. “You could say that it is radical to propose there’s no event horizon. But these are highly quantum conditions, and there’s ambiguity about what space-time even is, let alone whether there is a definite region that can be marked as an event horizon.”
Still, that doesn’t mean astronauts will be lining up to dive into a black hole anytime soon. As Nature puts it, an apparent hoizon wouldn’t burn you to a crisp like an Event Horizon would but it wouldn’t leave you in “good shape” either. Any information or object escaping from a black hole in this scenario would be “pretty scrambled” in Hawking’s own words.

hehehe. Black hole.


But still it is fascinating though. @Dem!god fascinating article.

Stephen Hawking says black holes don’t exist

I am kinda torn between these two contradicting theories where one says such black holes exist in the center of almost every galaxy and.And then there's this logic that if black holes had to swallow galaxies at such a fast rate then we would 've had many big bangs by now.
My conclusion is our scientists just cant predict the true nature of a black hole.
E=mc2 goes for a six when it enters black hole

ya, the theories seems contradicting but..then again it is equally true that we know niche about our universe.....
see about black holes..they are just the huge stellar masses..when a huge star dies and collapse they start engulfing everything around it..but our universe is a expanding universe and is expanding at a enormous speed...if center of our galaxy are blackhole then every thing we get entered into it..and galaxy will collapse but we have no proof of it till date...+ it's expanding....
no one till date has ever seen a blackhole b'coz according to theories even light can't escape..but only bending of light have been recorded. so, we actually don't know much of it...it's all speculation...

We barely know anything about space & universe, maybe we need a thousand years more to get a fair idea about universe.

@Dem!god @levina ,

I do not think Hawkins said Black holes do not exist, it the media which reported like that. He was explaining that the so called event horizon does not exits saying that no definite line can be drawn saying that this is the event horizon. There is some grey area also exits. Previous theory said that an unfortunate astronaut would be torn apart when falling in to a black hole, but now they say he will be burnt to crisp before being ripped apart. But again this is all theory which may change in due course of time. Just wait for next generation of telescope being launched to see ?(I still do not get it) the black hole.

My Idea is what the Scientist are seeing is what happened 3.9 billion year ago as the black hole lies from at about 3.9 billion light years away(from us). So presently on that Galaxy everything must have been devoured by the BH. And Galaxies do collide as we know (about 13 billion year later we (Milky way) is going to collide with our nearest Galaxy(Andromeda about 1.5 times bigger than ours))!! So in this context that "Bhasmasur" must have been starting to make a good lunch of its nearest Galaxy!!

Makes a man feel insignificant.Like a bacteria.Man can never match nature's scope or scale.We are but parasites feeding on the generosity of one little star.

you do not see the black hole. You see the stars orbiting and anything that is powerful enough to put stars in an orbit is a black hole.

 

[Levina]

Yes yes YES....i love everything which is mysterious in nature.

you do not see the black hole. You see the stars orbiting and anything that is powerful enough to put stars in an orbit is a black hole.

That is like saying you cant see a country but its boundary.The boundary or the stars that orbit it do define a black hole.Isnt it???
