Two astrophysicists at the Center for Astrophysics (CfA), a Harvard and Smithsonian collaboration, have recommended a method to view a supermassive black hole said to be the second closest to the Earth. It is 3 million times the mass of the Sun and is accommodated by the dwarf galaxy Leo I.

As massive as the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, the behemoth is hosted by a dwarf galaxy less than 1 million light-years away. Invisible so far —

“Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.” -Louis Pasteur Well, it's been another doozy of a week here on Starts With A Bang, and we've run the gamut from the far future to the smallest theoretical scales, from Hubble to the highest energies. If you missed anything, catch up on all of the following:

The event has left scientists scratching their heads, as the indigestion stems from a seemingly unremarkable feeding event in 2018.

The Southwestern state was central to the development of nuclear weapons. When the testing ground for the first detonation recently reopened for visitors, a writer decided to confront that difficult history.

Scientists say a black hole has begun ejecting material years after it consumed a small star, a phenomenon described as similar to burping after a meal and a first for researchers.

Black holes, which rotate at nearly the speed of light, have something called an “event horizon” at their edge, not unlike the edge of a hurricane, that snags... 18.10.2022, Sputnik International

For the first time, scientists witnessed a delayed black hole burp after devouring a star two years ago. They don't know what happens next.

Astronomers were stunned to find that the black hole was emitting energy, two years after it pulled apart a star that had come too close.
