About one year ago, we took the first-ever photo of a black hole. And now, a team of scientists have taken things to the next level by performing calculations to further predict how we could see black holes up close and personal in far more detail in the future. » Subscribe to Seeker! http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Watch more Elements! http://bit.ly/ElementsPlaylist » Visit our shop at http://shop.seeker.com In April 2019, scientists unveiled the first image ever taken of a black hole. The photo of the supermassive black hole M87* was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT. Comprising eight radio telescopes around the world working together, the EHT is effectively a telescope the size of the planet. Black holes have been historically difficult to capture in an image as they are by nature invisible. And so, technically, EHT didn't take a photo of M87* but rather captured a picture of the black hole’s shadow. Knowing the size of the black hole’s shadow against the accretion disk can help determine the mass of the black hole, and currently the EHT is accurate to within about 10%. But what lies between a black hole’s shadow and the accretion disk? Well, Einstein's Theory of General Relativity predicts there is another layer called a photon ring and that is exactly what scientists are working to capture an image of next.

There Are Infinite Rings of Light Around Black Holes. Here's How We Could See Them https://www.sciencealert.com/sending-telescopes-to-space-could-reveal-the-infinite-rings-around-a-black-hole If a passing photon is a bit too close, it will get trapped in orbit around the black hole. This creates what is called a "photon ring" or "photon sphere", a perfect ring of light predicted to surround the black hole, inside the inner rim of the accretion disc, but outside the event horizon. Infinite Visions Were Hiding in the First Black Hole Image’s Rings https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/28/science/black-hole-rings.html If they could increase the size of their event horizon network by adding an antenna in space, Dr. Doeleman said, they could gain enough resolution to see individual photon rings, as they are called, turning the event horizon into “a true cosmic laboratory for testing our most fundamental theories.” ____________________ Elements is more than just a science show.

Scientists Spotted A Black Hole Near The Earth! ► Subscribe: https://goo.gl/r5jd1F Scientists have finally done what was once thought impossible... They captured the first image of black hole. But now that black holes have become easier to spot, researchers have found one hiding very close to Earth! Is it dangerous? Is it headed our way, and are there other black holes out there lurking close to us? #black #hole #earth #space #universe #blackhole

It’s barely 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Telescopium. In astronomical terms, this black hole is right in our neighborhood. You don’t actually need a telescope to see this solar system. In a trinary star system, two of the stars orbit each other as a binary pair, while the third star orbits the pair at a greater distance. This ensures that the system is stable if the inner and outer orbits were the same size, one of the stars would eventually be ejected from the system. In the case of QV Telescopii system, one of the two visible stars orbits an invisible object every 40 days, while the other visible star orbits farther away. By studying the orbit of the star in the inner pair, the team was able to detect the black hole's presence and also calculate its mass. The ESO team estimated that the invisible third element has about four times the mass of the sun. That can only be a black hole. Before this discovery, the closest known black hole was about 3,000 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. #Blackhole Credit: ESO

This animation depicts the triple star system HR 6819... where one of the three stars is a black hole. And not only that, at about 1000 light years distant it's the closest known black hole to Earth! The black hole is part of a binary, orbiting a star hotter and more massive than the Sun about once every 40 days (the black hole's orbital path is shown in red and the stars in teal). Farther out, another star orbits the pair, though how far out it is and how long the orbit takes isn't yet known. Calculations indicate the black hole has a mass 4 -6 times the mass of the Sun. It poses no threat to us. My blog post with a lot more info on this bizarre system: https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/astronomers-find-the-closest-known-black-hole-to-earth Credit: ESO/L.

Two supermassive black holes are locked in a dance in the OJ 287 galaxy. The larger black hole is 18 billion times the mass of our sun and surrounded by disk of gas. It is also orbited by a smaller black hole about 150 million times the mass of our sun that crashes through the disk and produces a flare brighter than 1 trillion stars. But the complex physics of the system affect the smaller black hole's orbit, and the flares occur irregularly. The animated diagram on the left illustrates the orbit of the smaller black hole (the red dot) around the larger black hole (the stationary white dot) at the center of the OJ 287 galaxy. The pink line represents a disk of gas and dust — seen edge-on — surrounding the larger black hole. The smaller black hole collides with disk twice per orbit. The graphic on the right shows the calculated timing of the flares since 1886. Credit: NASA/JPL/Abhimanyu Susobhanan (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research)

Two massive black holes are locked in a dance at the center of the OJ 287 galaxy. The larger black hole is surrounded by disk of gas; it is also orbited by a smaller black hole that collides with the disk, producing a flare brighter than 1 trillion stars. But because the system's complex physics affects the smaller black hole's orbit, the flares occur irregularly. Scientists used NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to detect one of these bright flashes on July 31, 2019, confirming that they can now anticipate the timing of these flares to within four hours using a detailed model of the system. In the second half of the video, the animated diagram on the left illustrates the orbit of the smaller black hole (the red dot) around the larger black hole (the stationary white dot) and its collisions with the disk of gas (the pink line), which occur twice per orbit. The years of the collisions are indicated below the diagram and in the graphic on the right shows, dating to 1886. After more than 16 years of operations in space, Spitzer was retired on Jan. 30, 2020.
