Bookmark or Share- NASA Finds ‘Sideways’ Black Hole Using Legacy Data, New TechniquesHubble Space Telescope image of galaxy NGC 5084’s core. A dark, vertical line near the center shows the curve of a dusty disk orbiting the core, whose presence suggests a supermassive black hole within. The disk and black hole share the same orientation, fully tipped over from the horizontal orientation of the galaxy.
- Black holes: Everything you need to know | SpaceBlack holes are real, they're some of the strangest objects in space. Discover what black holes are and how they form with our informative black hole guide.
- Black Hole Anatomy - Science@NASABlack holes grow by consuming matter, a process scientists call accretion, and by merging with other black holes. A stellar-mass black hole paired with a star may pull gas from it, and a supermassive black hole does the same from stars that stray too close.
- What Is a Black Hole? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for KidsA black hole is an area of such immense gravity that nothing—not even light—can escape from it. Black holes form at the end of some stars’ lives. The energy that held the star together disappears and it collapses in on itself producing a magnificent explosion.
- What Are Black Holes? - NASAA black hole is an astronomical object with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. A black hole’s “surface,” called its event horizon, defines the boundary where the velocity needed to escape exceeds the speed of light, which is the speed limit of the cosmos.
