Astronomers have spotted a record-breaking explosion created by a black hole some 390 million light-years away in the universe. According to CNN.com, this record-breaking, gargantuan explosion came from a black hole in a distant galaxy cluster hundreds of millions of light-years away, the astronomers said.
The planet population, ranging from the size of the Moon to the size of Jupiter, were spotted in a galaxy located 3.8 billion light-years away.
The black hole pairs were uncovered by combining data from a suite of different observatories including NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Wide-Field Infrared Sky Explorer Survey (WISE), and the ground-based Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona.
From studies of solar X-ray emission, astronomers have determined that the corona is heated by processes related to the interplay of turbulent motions and magnetic fields in the outer layers of a star.
Scientists say the wave, spanning some 200,000 light-years, is about twice the size of our own Milky Way galaxy.
This discovery was made using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory as well as NASA’s NuSTAR and CSIRO’s Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA).
Researchers made this discovery using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Swift satellite as well as European Space Agency's XMM-Newton.
NGC 6357 is actually a “cluster of clusters,” containing at least three clusters of young stars, including many hot, massive, luminous stars.
The astronomers used NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatory to discover this source.
The gravity of this galaxy cluster is strong enough that it acts as a lens to magnify images of more distant background galaxies.
This discovery was done by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory during its four separate observations.
The US space agency NASA has released illustrated image of the magnetic field that depicts the interior of a low-mass star, such as GJ 3253, a low-mass red dwarf star about 31 light years away from our planet.
Astronomers have developed a powerful method for investigating dark energy by using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other optical telescopes.
The Sun constantly ejects streams of particles into space in the solar wind.
The jet, found in the system known as B3 0727+409, is at least 300,000 light years.
The pressure exerted by this rapid motion caused gas to be stripped away from the galaxy.
