That "stuff" forms an accretion disk around the black hole. (Image credit: NASA/CXC) How big are black holes? The black hole in Cygnus X-1 has a mass about 20 times that of the sun, which is pretty typical for black holes throughout the universe. In our own galaxy, scientists have...

可知此处是在描述黑洞的样子,故填:T he appearance of black holes.2)a dying star.根据文中"Black holes are not real holes in space.T here are many stars in space.But some stars get old as time goes by.When these stars get very old , they die.Black holes form(形成)during this process...
Supermassive black holes in 'little red dot' galaxies are 1,000 times larger than they should be, and astronomers don't know why 'City-killer' asteroid has a 1-in-83 chance of smashing into Earth in 2032, NASA says 1,600-year-old Roman padlock with spring mechanism discovered in...
angles and will allow them to fit different events into a coherent framework. “We will observe hundreds to thousands of tidal disruption events in a few years,” she said. “This will give us a lot of ‘laboratories’ to test our model and use it to understand more about black holes....

While a large globular cluster might house tens of millions of stars, galaxies are often home to billions of stars. Star cluster Liller 1 imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3. (Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, F. Ferraro) What globular cluster is closest to ...
According to NASA,it does not have enough mass to turn into one. When the sun dies,it will become a smaller and cooler star. Even if the sun becomes a black hole,Earth would still be safe. ( )1. Which of the following is NOT true about black holes? A. They look like dark ...
