The Mystery of the Missing Supermassive Black Hole Has Deepened!

Nearly every massive galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. But when scientists looked at the heart of Abell 2261-BCG, they were shocked. Its black hole, expected to be about 100 billion times the Sun's mass, was missing. Since even light cannot escape through a black hole, astronomers can't observe them directly. Astronomers locate black holes by monitoring the motion of the stars next to them. Another way is to look for bright X-Ray sparks that result from the material that black holes draw in towards them, a process called accretion.

NASA first used the Chandra X-ray Telescope to observe this galaxy. Chandra found that the densest gas of the galaxy was not at the center. Subsequent radio emissions showed signs of black hole activity 50 million years ago. But, they didn't indicate that the center of the galaxy currently contains such a black hole. After failing to observe the supermassive black holes directly, scientists have come up with explanations.

When two black holes merge, they produce ripples in spacetime called gravitational waves. If the number of gravitational waves produced is stronger in one direction than another, Then, the resultant massive black hole moves away from the center of the galaxy in the opposite direction. This black hole is called a recoiling black hole. The scientists believe that a similar event might have taken place in Abell 2261-BCG. The new hopes now rely on the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope.

Thank you for giving an insight to the most mysterious being of the universe

[shravanichawandke]

Amazing mystery to solve though.Thank you for all the

[luvxnno]

so either nothing happened and were safe

It’s moving away from us and we’re safe

Or it’s moving towards us and we are really really screwed

I am currently in 10th grade. I an extremely fascinated and intrigued by astrophysics. And I want to pursue as career. I do not have any opportunity to do research and do not have any career advice. So please help me🙏🏻

now what...7 minutes ago.. i was watching astronomy events this 2021 and the notification pop out...but this black hole is kinda sus

[CEOofsoup]

He went to get milk from some Milky Way

[sudeepsherly]

Hello secrets of universe Pls put a video on dark energy and dark matter.

[rlph]

I came to know about Black Holes from Interstellar Movie

[tron_gaming]

I love you because all youtubers are speaking while Explains the things but you are not therefore I am studying about Astronomy science

[anthonyciferri]

As big as it is Why the hell we can find it?

[tron_gaming]

And James Webb telescope is our first hope

[JupiterJane]

I hope they find it before it finds us!, L😎L

[johndd]

Wow! Perhaps a white hole cancelled it out? 🤔

[peterolbrisch]

Hmmmm. If you dig a hole in the ground, the dirt is removed, creating a shape that defines the perimeter of the hole, but is not part of the actual hole, so the hole is empty unless you put something in it. An empty hole is just a blank space of nothing, so what you're saying is that you can't find the missing nothing. Good luck with that!

[mikel]

Do you have any idea why earth is spinning faster?

[KappaDaKappa]

Don't worry, the black hole will have evaporated via Hawking Radiation long before we have launched the JWST.

[LaibaStarXX]

Maybe it got sucked up by unknown intelligence.

[julesluvsu]

You know how everyone is saying we switched dimensions on Dec 31st, 2020 at 11:59pm... what if the black hole disappeared because we went inside it. 😂😂😂

Edit: And with aliens being confirmed... i have a gut feeling something bad is coming.

You say you can see a black hole in space from millions of light years away, but you can't seem to see that Jesus is the Light Of The World...
Creation was about 6, 000 years ago...
