science.nasa.govAstronomers Catch Unprecedented Features at Brink of Active Black Hole - NASA ScienceInternational teams of astronomers monitoring a supermassive black hole in the heart of a distant galaxy have detected features never seen before using data from NASA missions and other facilities. The features include the launch of a plasma jet moving at nearly one-third the speed of light and unusual, rapid X-ray fluctuations likely arising from […]

Hubble Reveals Surprising Spiral Shape of Galaxy Hosting Young Jet science.nasa.gov/missions/hubb #NASA #ActiveGalaxies #Astrophysics #AstrophysicsDivision #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #HubbleSpaceTelescope #Quasars

science.nasa.govHubble Reveals Surprising Spiral Shape of Galaxy Hosting Young Jet - NASA ScienceThe night sky has always played a crucial role in navigation, from early ocean crossings to modern GPS. Besides stars, the United States Navy uses quasars as beacons. Quasars are distant galaxies with supermassive black holes, surrounded by brilliantly hot disks of swirling gas that can blast off jets of material. Following up on the groundbreaking 2020 discovery of […]

NASA’s Webb Provides Another Look Into Galactic Collisions science.nasa.gov/missions/webb #NASA #ActiveGalaxies #Astrophysics #Galaxies #GalaxiesStarsBlackHoles #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #JamesWebbSpaceTelescopeJWST #ScienceResearch #SeyfertGalaxies #TheUniverse

science.nasa.govNASA’s Webb Provides Another Look Into Galactic Collisions - NASA ScienceSmile for the camera! An interaction between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy, collectively known as Arp 107, seems to have given the spiral a happier outlook thanks to the two bright “eyes” and the wide semicircular “smile.” The region has been observed before in infrared by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope in 2005, however […]

NASA’s Hubble, Chandra Find Supermassive Black Hole Duo science.nasa.gov/missions/hubb #NASA #ActiveGalaxies #Astrophysics #AstrophysicsDivision #ChandraXRayObservatory #Galaxies #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #HubbleSpaceTelescope #MarshallSpaceFlightCenter #Missions #SpiralGalaxies #TheUniverse

science.nasa.govNASA's Hubble, Chandra Find Supermassive Black Hole Duo - NASA ScienceLike two Sumo wrestlers squaring off, the closest confirmed pair of supermassive black holes have been observed in tight proximity. These are located approximately 300 light-years apart and were detected using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These black holes, buried deep within a pair of colliding galaxies, are fueled by infalling […]

NASA, JAXA XRISM Spots Iron Fingerprints in Nearby Active Galaxy science.nasa.gov/missions/xris #NASA #ActiveGalaxies #Astrophysics #Galaxies #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #TheUniverse #XRISMXRayImagingAndSpectroscopyMission

science.nasa.govNASA, JAXA XRISM Spots Iron Fingerprints in Nearby Active Galaxy - NASA ScienceAfter starting science operations in February, Japan-led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) studied the monster black hole at the center of galaxy NGC 4151. “XRISM’s Resolve instrument captured a detailed spectrum of the area around the black hole,” said Brian Williams, NASA’s project scientist for the mission at the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center […]

NASA/JAXA’s XRISM Mission Captures Unmatched Data With Just 36 Pixels science.nasa.gov/missions/xris #NASA #ActiveGalaxies #Astrophysics #ElectromagneticSpectrum #Galaxies #GalaxiesStarsBlackHoles #GalaxyClusters #GoddardSpaceFlightCenter #TheUniverse #XRISMXRayImagingAndSpectroscopyMission

science.nasa.govNASA/JAXA’s XRISM Mission Captures Unmatched Data With Just 36 Pixels - NASA ScienceAt a time when phone cameras are capable of taking snapshots with millions of pixels, an instrument on the Japan-led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) satellite captures revolutionary science with just 36 of them. “That may sound impossible, but it’s actually true,” said Richard Kelley, the U.S. principal investigator for XRISM at NASA’s Goddard […]
