NASA’s Parker Solar Probe found that S-shaped magnetic field bends are not responsible for the sun’s corona’s extreme heat. While these switchbacks appear in the...Finally! Astronomers Find the Missing Link Between Stellar and Supermassive Black Holes

Häberle Posted on July 30, 2024 July 30, 2024 by Laurence Tognetti Finally Astronomers Find the Missing Link Between Stellar and Supermassive Black Holes While black holes are known as the most destructive objects in the universe , their evolution is largely shrouded in mystery . This is because while astronomers are familiar with supermassive black holes that exist at the center of galaxies like our own and black holes whose masses are less than 100 times the size of our Sun , the notion of intermediate-massParticle physicists may have solved a strange mystery about the muon

A subatomic particle called the muon caused waves when its experimental behaviour didn't align with a prediction based on the standard model. A new calculation might resolve the discrepancy – but some particle physicists are scepticalDark matter may solve the mystery of how colossal black holes merge

Astrophysicists aren’t sure how supermassive black holes get close enough to merge, a mystery called the final parsec problem – but an exotic form of dark matter may explain itWhat happens at a black hole's edge? It depends on your perspective

To find out what happens at the centre of a black hole, we may need to consider its event horizon - and think about where we're looking from, says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
