Space · Mar 7A monster black hole may be hiding in the galaxy next door: 'It is astounding'By Robert Lea

Was reading some online slides and came across this excellent #RadioAstronomy image from the NRAO/AUI/NSF.

The terrestrial portion is optical wavelengths. Above this is radio wavelengths.

Those are not stars. They are radio sources.

They're supermassive black holes in the centres of galaxies.

The sky portion of this image was taken by the now fallen 300-ft radio telescope, pictured here as the largest dish between the smaller dishes.

If you had a radio wavelength-detecting eye that was 300 feet in diameter, this is how the sky would look to you.

A sea sprinkled with ancient light.

You can download this image, and use it from this link from the NRAO site here: https://www.nrao.edu/archives/items/show/33605

Be sure to attribute properly and just copy my alt-text.

You can also read the paper here: https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/pdf/1994AJ....107.1829C

The lower half of the image shows a radio astronomy observatory off in the distance, nestled in front of mountains. Prominently standing out from the dark image is a large, white radio dish antenna, with several smaller antennas also located nearby. The sky above the mountains is freckled with point sources of light. In addition, there are translucent, globular structures and bright, irregularly shaped structures. The light points are the supermassive black holes and the other structures are from our own Milky Way Galaxy.

In Jan, #astronomers announced that the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope had observed the oldest black hole yet—one present when the universe was a mere 400M yrs old.…Recently, 2 #SupermassiveBlackHoles, w/a combined mass of 28B suns, were measured & shown to have been rotating tightly around each other, but not colliding, for the past 3B years. And those are just the examples that are easiest for the public to make some sense of.
