A hybrid gamma-ray burst was been detected by Swift, one of NASA's satellites, on June 14. Scientists think that this explosion has created a black hole, but was not accompanied by a supernova. It is called GRB 060614 and is located in the constellation Indus, 1.6 billion light years away.
- On The Edge Of A Hungry Black Hole
Gas and dust equal to the mass of two Earths are being gobbled up every hour by a hungry black hole in a distant galaxy, according to a space telescope probing the Universe in X-rays that has peered closer to a black hole than ever before. The European...
- Strongest-ever Gamma Ray Explosion Reorded
Astronomers have disovered the "strongest-ever" gamma ray explosion , exceeding the power of some 9,000 exploding stars, in the deep space constellation Carina. The blast was discovered by Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, a collaboration among NASA, the...
- A Humongous Star Explosion
The "SN 2006gy" explosion took place in the galaxy called NGC 1260, 240 million light-years away. It was 100 times more powerful than most typical supernovas, the brightest and most energetic ever recorded. It was first detected in September 2006, using...
- Swift Detected Its 1,000th Gamma-ray Burst.
This illustration shows the ingredients of the most common type of gamma-ray burst. The core of a massive star (left) has collapsed, forming a black hole that sends a jet moving through the collapsing star and out into space at near the speed of light.NASA's...
- Nearest Black Hole(or Neutron Star)
According to NASA, astronomers, using Chandra X-ray observatory had almost found a youngest possible Black hole known to exist in our cosmic background, and they even said that it appears to be our nearest possible. The 30-year-old object provides a...
