(.#343).- For the first time, NASA is watching something come out of a black hole.

If there is one thing that Interstellar transcribes correctly about black holes, it's because no one really understands what it is.
More seriously, we do not understand all the physics associated with these massive objects. We do not fully understand them and we do not know what is possible or not.
We thought that their mass was such that even light, though devoid of mass, was sensitive to their gravitational force (this force depends on the mass of the two objects and the distance between them). It was also thought that this gravitational force was such that nothing could escape, not even the electromagnetic waves. Making the study of black holes very complicated.
Yet, a few days ago, NASA made a strange observation about a supermassive black hole: Markarian 335. Two of NASA's telescopes including NuSTAR, a telescope studying high-energy X-rays around black holes . This telescope has, somewhat miraculously, managed to capture the massive emission of plasma and X-rays from the black hole to the outside.
For the main author of the scientific article who reports this discovery :
"It will help us understand how black holes feed some of the brightest objects in the universe."
Research teams working on the subject do not really know what kind of energy source they are. However the recording of this phenomenon will surely help scientists to learn a little more about the specificities of this black hole and on these in general.
For those who would ask the question whether we should not worry about such a phenomenon, do not worry, the black hole is not quite beside us: 324 million light year more far in fact. Our nook of the universe should not be too worried so.
