Gobble Up These Black (Hole) Friday Deals!

Welcome to our 6th annual annual Black Hole Friday! Check out these black hole deals from the past year as you prepare to head out for a shopping spree or hunker down at home to avoid the crowds.

First things first, black holes have one basic rule: They are so incredibly dense that to escape their surface you’d have to travel faster than light. But light speed is the cosmic speed limit … so nothing can escape a black hole’s surface!

Black hole birth announcements

Some black holes form when a very large star dies in a supernova explosion and collapses into a superdense object. This is even more jam-packed than the crowds at your local mall — imagine an object 10 times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere with the diameter of New York City!

Some of these collapsing stars also signal their destruction with a huge burst of gamma rays. Our Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory continuously seek out the signals of these gamma ray bursts — black hole birth announcements that come to us from across the universe.

NICER black holes

There are loads of stellar mass black holes, which are just a few 10s of times the Sun’s mass, in our home galaxy alone — maybe even hundreds of millions of them! Our Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer, or NICER for short, experiment on the International Space Station has been studying some of those relatively nearby black holes.

Near one black hole called GRS 1915+105, NICER found disk winds — fast streams of gas created by heat or pressure. Scientists are still figuring out some puzzles about these types of wind. Where do they come from, for example? And do they change the way material falls into the black hole? Every new example of these disk winds helps astronomers get closer to answering those questions.

Merging monster black holes

But stellar mass black holes aren’t the only ones out there. At the center of nearly every large galaxy lies a supermassive black hole — one with the mass of millions or billions of Suns smooshed into a region no bigger than our solar system.

There’s still some debate about how these monsters form, but astronomers agree that they certainly can collide and combine when their host galaxies collide and combine. Those black holes will have a lot of gas and dust around them. As that material is pulled into the black hole it will heat up due to friction and other forces, causing it to emit light.  A group of scientists wondered what light it would produce and created this mesmerizing visualization showing that most of the light produced around these two black holes is UV or X-ray light. We can’t see those wavelengths with our own eyes, but many telescopes can. Models like this could help scientists know what to look for to spot a merger.

Black holes power bright gamma ray lights

It also turns out that these supermassive black holes are the source of some of the brightest objects in the gamma ray sky! In a type of galaxy called active galactic nuclei (also called “AGN” for short) the central black hole is surrounded by a disk of gas and dust that’s constantly falling into the black hole.

But not only that, some of those AGN have jets of energetic particles that are shooting out from near the black hole at nearly the speed of light! Scientists are studying these jets to try to understand how black holes — which pull everything in with their huge amounts of gravity — provide the energy needed to propel the particles in these jets. If that jet is pointed directly at us, it can appear super-bright in gamma rays and we call it a blazar. These blazars make up more than half of the sources our Fermi space telescope sees.

Catching particles from near a black hole

Sometimes scientists get a two-for-one kind of deal when they’re looking for black holes. Our colleagues at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory actually caught a particle from a blazar 4 billion light-years away. IceCube lies a mile under the ice in Antarctica and uses the ice itself to detect neutrinos, tiny speedy particles that weigh almost nothing and rarely interact with anything. When IceCube caught a super-high-energy neutrino and traced its origin to a specific area of the sky, they turned to the astronomical community to pinpoint the source.

Our Fermi spacecraft scans the entire sky about every three hours and for months it had observed a blazar producing more gamma rays than usual. Flaring is a common characteristic in blazars, so this didn’t attract special attention. But when the alert from IceCube came through, scientists realized the neutrino and the gamma rays came from the same patch of sky! This method of using two or more kinds of signals to learn about one event or object is called multimessenger astronomy, and it’s helping us learn a lot about the universe.

Hacking Google Search

Well we ain’t any where close to hacking google not maybe in the near or the far future but surely we could exploit the google search for our own personal interests and let Google show us the content that we actually want , sometimes it may just be some good movie that you don’t want to pay for or the crack file for which you couldn’t find any torrents( are torrents still alive ?) :

The Rubik's Combinatorics.

The Rubik's Combinatorics. What do you think what are the total number of possible combinations that could be made in a rubik's cube

In how many can a Rubik’s cube be arranged?

I am really not a big fan of solving Rubik’s cubes or the mirror puzzles. I literally can only solve one or maybe 2 two faces of the cube, but I surely do have a good interest in problem solving and mathematics ( though I ain’t the Pythagoras or Euler of my class ). So the question came to my mind while I was watching my friend solving the Rubik’s cube…

How to Detect and Defeat a Physical Surveillance like a U.S Seal.

Life isn’t always beautiful or peaceful when you are a security professional or even in a firm at any post or maybe you are just a normal person with not so normal life. In such a digital world there is virtual surveillance too but still, Physical surveillance can be the best method someone can use to track you. Let me make you clear what exactly surveillance is then after that we’ll talk about…

Why Study Statistics? Careers in Mathematics

Thanks to the growth of computing power, statistics is a rapidly growing field but what is it good for?

Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Machine Learning

The ubiquity of computers have made piles of data readily available and people are using them to make useful predictions. This “big data” is changing the way we use statistics and it has given rise to some really cool applications:

Ethical Hacking as the Armour for Privacy.

Ethical Hacking as the Armour for Privacy.

Only the unknown frighten  men. Once the man has faced the unknown its not a terror anymore .

Its not only the mischeivious notion of the hacker or the curious intention of the government that leads to risk to your privacy and personal integrity but it is also the ignorance and lack of preventive measure from the victim’s  side that leads to the risk. Also the “privacy” needs to have a clearcut…

Use of AI in the fashion industry

Use of AI in the fashion industry

One of the best-selling T-shirts for the Indian e-commerce site Myntra is an olive, blue and yellow colorblocked design. It was conceived not by a human but by a computer algorithm — or rather two algorithms.

The first algorithm generated random images that it tried to pass off as clothing. The second had to distinguish between those images and clothes in Myntra’s inventory. Through a long…

Why We need more alternatives to Facebook

About 10 years after TVs began to be ubiquitous in American homes, television broadcasting was a staggering financial success. As the head of the Federal Communications Commission observed in a 1961 speechto broadcast executives, the industry’s revenue, more than $1 billion a year, was rising 9 percent annually, even in a recession. The problem, the FCC chairman told the group, was the way the…
