Israeli Scientists Discover Surprising Link Between Solar Storms and Black Holes

Israeli scientists discover surprising link between solar storms and black holes

Technion researchers identify evidence that powerful eruptions near a supermassive black hole are driven by the same magnetic processes responsible for solar storms, revealing a previously unseen connection between the Sun and distant galaxies

Scientists find evidence of a solar storm near a supermassive black hole

A solar-like black hole eruption reveals a familiar X-ray timing pattern, linking magnetic energy release with a fast wind near NGC 3783’s central black hole.

Astronomers spot signs of solar-like magnetic storms near a giant black hole

Powerful eruptions near a supermassive black hole may be driven by the same magnetic process that produces storms on the sun, according to new observations of a distant galaxy. Astronomers studying the black hole in NGC 3783 found an X-ray pattern consistent with magnetic reconnection, a sudden rearrangement of magnetic fields that releases stored energy. […]

Solar-Storm-Like Eruption Observed Near a Supermassive Black Hole

X-ray observations of NGC 3783 revealed a solar-storm-like eruption near its supermassive black hole, supporting evidence for magnetic reconnection and a coronal mass ejection.
