Astronomers discover supermassive black hole awakening after 100 million years and erupting like 'cosmic volcano'
Astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole awakening after 100 million years, with researchers capturing remarkable images."It's like watching a cosmic volcano erupt again after ages of calm," says Dr Shobha Kumari of Midnapore City College in India, who led the study.The eruption has unleashed enormous plumes of superheated plasma extending across nearly one million light-years, roughly ten times the width of our own Milky Way galaxy…
Researchers Capture a Long-Dormant Black Hole Waking Up After 100 Million Years
In a rare event, astronomers were able to capture a black hole that appeared to be waking up after laying dormant for 100 million years. Scientists have described the phenomena as that of a 'cosmic volcano' that erupted. The rare phenomenon was first observed on the radio galaxy J1007+3540 with India's uGMRT telescope. Images captured by the telescope show the black hole erupting like a 'cosmic volcano' with force strong enough to reshape its ho…
A group of scientists have managed to capture the reborn activity of a black hole in a gigantic radio galaxy, as collected by the Phys.org portal.The scene was discovered when astronomers detected the supermassive black hole in the heart of the J1007+3540 galaxy at the time it was restarting its jet emission after nearly 100 million years of silence.The images show that the galaxy is trapped in a struggle between the newly lit jets of the black …
