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. ... Far from being a voracious devourer of stars and of interstellar gas, "our own" black hole is rather benign. ... What holds galaxies together? ...

... The event horizon is the boundary of a black hole) . ... When the supermassive star implodes (collapses under it?s own gravity) a black hole is formed. Many black holes have been found in the centres of galaxies. ... It was thought that black holes don?t give out any energy at all (except when engulfing stars). ... It is thought that as the stars pass near to the centre, they are pulled in by the black hole and forced to remain orbiting around the black hole. ...

... SS433 is a close binary system, one star is a supergiant, a second one is a black hole. ... Even a black hole cannot accept such an enormous mass flux, a supercritical accretion disk appears, all the excess gas glows up to several tens of thousands degrees and is ejected off the disk with enormous velocities. ... SAO researchers have found an evidence of the supercritical accretion onto a black hole in SS433, which follows from a brightness variability of the SS433 disk. ...

... 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. ...

Milky Way X-ray background emission « »: , . ... RXTE , . ... Using near-infrared Galaxy intensity measured with COBE/DIRBE experiment and X-ray data from RXTE and INTEGRAL it was shown that X-ray brightness of the Galactic background emission closely follows its stellar density and can be explained by a cumulative emission of a large number of weak Galactic X-ray sources. ...

... 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. ...

... Astronomy news . ... NASA's Spitzer Images Out-of-This-World Galaxy . ... It is spiral-shaped like our Milky Way, with long, spindly arms of stars. The "eye" at the center of the galaxy is actually a monstrous black hole surrounded by a ring of stars. In this color-coded infrared view from Spitzer, the area around the invisible black hole is blue and the ring of stars, white. ... The ring around the black hole is bursting with new star formation. ...

You might wonder how a black hole could be found if nothing including light can escape from it. ... HDE 226868 is a massive blue supergiant star; its companion is believed to be a black hole, surrounded by an accretion disc of gases from HDE 226868 which are spiraling into the black hole. ... Three other objects -- LMC X-3 in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy, and A0620-00 and V404 Cygni in our galaxy -- are also believed to have black holes as one of their components. ...
