... 2007 March 27 . Enceladus Creates Saturn's E Ring . ... Explanation: The active moon Enceladus appears to be making Saturn's E ring. An amazing picture showing the moon at work was taken late last year by the Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft and is shown above . Enceladus is the dark spot inside the bright flare, right near the center of Saturn's E ring . ... The above bright image of the normally faint E-ring was made possible by aligning Cassini so that Saturn blocked the Sun. ...

... 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. ...

Next: Binary Radiopulsars with Black Up: Black Holes in Binaries Previous: Black Holes in Binaries . Two different types of stellar BH formation exist: (1) direct core collapse   of a massive star and (2) AIC of a NS. A BH of the first type presumably will have a mass comparable to that of the collapsing star and can be born both from a single star and in a binary system. ...

... Bringing news from across the Universe to children all around the world . ... These wild monsters are black holes, and when one of them feeds, it creates the brightest and most energetic objects in the Universe: active galactic nuclei! As the black hole pulls in gas and cosmic dust, it forms a doughnut-shaped ring, like water being sucked down a drain. ... We don t expect to see it hiding in a blanket of cool dust. ...

... 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. ...
