Size comparison of the event horizons of the black holes of TON 618 and Phoenix A.The orbit of Neptune (white oval) is included for comparison. As a quasar, TON 618 is believed to be the active galactic nucleus at the center of a galaxy, the engine of which is a supermassive black hole feeding on intensely hot gas and matter in an accretion disc.
Closer to the black hole spacetime starts to deform. In some convenient coordinate systems, there are more paths going towards the black hole than paths moving away. [Note 1] Inside the event horizon all future time paths bring the particle closer to the center of the black hole.
A classification of black holes by mass: Micro black hole and extra-dimensional black hole; Planck length; Primordial black hole, a hypothetical leftover of the Big Bang; Stellar black hole, which could either be a static black hole or a rotating black hole; Supermassive black hole, which could also either be a static black hole or a rotating ...
Cygnus X-1 (abbreviated Cyg X-1) [11] is a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus and was the first such source widely accepted to be a black hole. [12] [13] It was discovered in 1964 during a rocket flight and is one of the strongest X-ray sources detectable from Earth, producing a peak X-ray flux density of 2.3 × 10 −23 W/(m 2 ⋅Hz) (2.3 × 10 3 jansky).
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to black holes: . Black hole – mathematically defined region of spacetime exhibiting such a strong gravitational pull that no particle or electromagnetic radiation can escape from inside it.
1972 — Jacob Bekenstein suggests that black holes have an entropy proportional to their surface area due to information loss effects; 1974 — Stephen Hawking applies quantum field theory to black hole spacetimes and shows that black holes will radiate particles with a black-body spectrum which can cause black hole evaporation
Pi-hole is a Linux network-level advertisement and Internet tracker blocking application [3] [4] which acts as a DNS sinkhole [5] and optionally a DHCP server, intended for use on a private network. [1]
A rotating black hole is a black hole that possesses angular momentum.In particular, it rotates about one of its axes of symmetry. All celestial objects – planets, stars (), galaxies, black holes – spin.
