Visualization Shows How Black Hole’s Gravity Distorts Humans’ View

Researchers have visualized a black hole in a new way, which describes how its gravity warps its surroundings, as though observed in a carnival mirror, and thus distorts humans’ view.

Researchers Develop a New Method to Measure Black Hole Mass

Black holes have never been weighed before because scales are not available for this. However, astrophysicists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have developed an innovative method to indirectly measure the mass of a black hole and also confirm its existence.

Blasts that Create Gamma-Ray Bursts may Actually Exceed the Speed of Light

A new study indicates that blasts generating gamma-ray bursts may, in fact, exceed the speed of light in surrounding gas clouds, but do so without disobeying Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Plasma Motion Model may Explain Sunspots and Other Mysterious Solar Phenomena

Sunspots are dark patches that appear on the surface of the sun and can be seen for weeks at a time. Although people have tracked these sunspots for 400 years, they have not been able to elucidate why the number of sunspots always peaks every 11 years.
