... 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. ...

... A color image of the Andromeda galaxy always takes a little of my breath away: its golden yellow center, its bluish gossamer arms, its small, burr-like, fuzzy elliptical companion, M32. ... The beautiful images of Andromeda are a start; they give us a sense of what good form is for galaxies like our own. ... Meanwhile, radio astronomers have peered to the very center of the Galaxy and the hungry black hole there; the long radio wavelengths cut right through the dense underbrush of the Galactic...

Observing with ESO Telescopes . ... ESO-MIDAS . ... ESO Data . ... ESO HST Image Galleries . ... The aim of this research project is to understand the emission mechanism(s) in these active galaxies: . how much power is ultimately due to accretion onto supermassive black holes and how much is due to star formation processes ? ...

... Behemoth black hole found in an unlikely place . ... Spectacularly bright object in Andromeda caused by "normal" black hole . ... A spectacularly bright object recently spotted in one of the Milky Wayт??s neighboring galaxies is the result of a т??normalт?? stellar black hole, astronomers have found. ... Other scientists say ULXs are caused by material being dragged in by an intermediate-sized black hole formed from the merger of many stellar-mass black holes т?? about 1,000 times bigger than the...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... 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. ...

... Black holes are found at the centres of galaxies which are similar in size to our own Milky Way Galaxy or larger. When black holes collide and merge they form supermassive black holes which are events among the most powerful in the universe. ... 55, No. 1, pages 1-5, 'Observational Effects of Strong Gravity in Vicinity of Supermassive Black Holes' . ...

In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

... 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. ...

BLACK NIGHT Black night is not right, I don't feel so bright, I don't care to sit tight. Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm free, free to be me. Black night is a long way from home. I don't need a dark tree, I don't want a rough sea, I can't feel, I can't see. ... Black night, black night, I don't need black night, I can't see dark night. ...

... Astronomers have used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to probe the core of the nearest active galaxy to Earth, Centaurus A. Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer was used to peer past the dust to discover a tilted disk of hot gas at the galaxy's center (white bar running diagonally across image center). This 130 light-year diameter disk encircles a suspected black hole which may be one billion times the mass of our Sun. ... Centaurus A (NGC 5128) Fast Facts . ...

This animation shows a binary star being lensed by a binary lens. ... The sharp changes in the size of the lensed images of the stars lead to sharp changes in the brightness of the stars, which can be analyzed to determine many parameters about the objects doing the lensing, even though they are not bright enough to be seen. ... The graph shown above gives the predicted and observed brightness of a star in the Small Magellanic Cloud being magnified by a binary lens. ... Tutorial : Part 1 | ...
