... HUBBLE UNCOVERS DUST DISK AROUND A MASSIVE BLACK HOLE . Resembling a gigantic hubcap in space, a 3,700 light-year-diameter dust disk encircles a 300 million solar-mass black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy NGC 7052. ... Because the jets in NGC 7052 are not perpendicular to the disk, it may indicate that the black hole and the dust disk in NGC 7052 do not have a common origin. ... NGC 7052 is located in the constellation of Vulpecula, 191 million light-years from Earth. ...

... Resembling a gigantic hubcap in space, a 3,700 light-year-diameter dust disk encircles a 300 million solar-mass black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy NGC 7052. ... Because the front end of the disk eclipses more stars than the back, it appears darker. ... Despite its size, the disk is 100 times less massive than the black hole. ... The bright spot in the center of the disk is the combined light of stars that have crowded around the black hole due to its strong gravitational pull. ...

... We have measured this "redshift" for the pink black holes, and allowed for it in our calculations. ... We see this effect in the emission from gas around these pink black holes, but it is far too small an effect to account for the pinkness. Thus the swirling motions of gas around or into the black holes cannot produc the colour. ... At first we thought that these things were normal blue black holes hidden behind clouds of interstellar dust, that absorbed the blue light and made them appear pink. ...

Today's APOD | ... Editor's choices for the most educational Astronomy Pictures of the Day about black holes: . ... If alone, a black hole would indeed appear quite black, but many black hole candidates are part of binary star systems . So how does a black hole binary system look different from a neutron star binary system ? ... A black hole system so equipped would appear much darker than a similar neutron star system. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... Using the amazing power of the ALMA telescope, astronomers have unlocked some of the mysteries surrounding supermassive black holes that lie at the centre of galaxies. ... Well, supermassive black holes are the largest type of black hole . ... Astronomers are almost certain that we have a supermassive black hole at the centre of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. In fact, it is now widely accepted that there is a supermassive black hole at the centre of most galaxies. ...

... There are two stars in the binary system: a donor star on the right and a black hole on the left (an infinitely small point in the center of a complex figure). ... The wind is ejected as a hollow cone; it has a funnel (the funnel opening angle in the figure) and thick walls (wall opening angle in the figure). The observer looks at the whole system and the supercritical disk from the right, and sees everything up to the wind photosphere (the red color in the figure). ...
