News Summary and ReactionastronomyA New Black HoleScientific American essay that the heavens house a previously unknown fount of discolour location was reported by scientists yesterday. Data from NASAs Chandra X-Ray sentinel revealed a hole was some 600 light-years from the center of the starburst galaxy M82. The brightness of the roentgen ray source indicates that this moon-size hole has the mass of at least 500 suns, reservation it intermediate between stellar fatal holes and the supermassive dim holes found at the centers of galaxies. This opens a whole new field of research, said Martin Ward, a run author on one of three papers to be promulgated on the subject. No one was sure that such dark-skinned holes existed, in particular outside the centers of galaxies.Earlier data from the Roentgen satellite and the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics had suggested that M82 might contain a large black hole outside its nucleus, but the Chandra results seal the dea l. The new object might give up resulted from the collapse of a hyperstar or the growth of a smaller black hole through mergers with others nearby. --Kate Wong SummaryA new unknown type of black hole was discovered on September 12, 2000. It was found to be 600 light-years of the Starburst Galaxy M82. An x-ray source indicates that the moon-size black hole has the mass of at least 500 suns, making it intermediate between stellar black holes and the supermassive black holes found at the center of galaxies (Scientific America, 1). Scientists were shocked at this disco very(prenominal), for they didnt know that these types of black holes existed. Scientists believe this black hole may pack been due to a collapsed hyperstar or the growth of a smaller black hole through mergers with others nearby.ReactionI find this so very fascinating because I can not even fathom how lay and galaxies exist. With newer and faster technology, come new discoveries, and I think its abundant that we have the chance to explore a whole new limit unlike the one we live on. I am in concern of what is possible today through the means of such a technologically advanced society. To know that people are able to leave our populace completely, in search of bigger and better things, utterly blows my mind.The Future by our discoveries we uncover more and are able to advance due to the schooling that we accumulate. Our work and discoveries lead to new inventions, which in turn change our lifestyle.
