🪐 In the galaxy NGC 7793, astronomers have discovered a black hole named P13 that has a companion star orbiting it, and the pair is notable because the black hole consumes material from the star at a surprisingly high rate. This intense feeding causes P13 to shine hundreds of times brighter in X-rays than expected for a black hole its size—a puzzling behavior that challenges scientists’ understanding of how black holes grow and interact with their surroundings. ✨ #blackholes⚡#ngc7793⚡#xray⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries ​

🪐 In the galaxy NGC 7793, astronomers have discovered a rare "microquasar" called S26, powered by a black hole less than 15 times the mass of our Sun. This tiny giant shoots out enormous jets of high-speed particles that stretch for over 300 light-years—unusual for such a small black hole and providing insight into how even modest black holes can launch powerful cosmic outflows. ✨ #blackholes⚡#microquasar⚡#ngc7793⚡#nasa⚡#galaxy⚡#stars⚡#astronomy⚡#universe⚡#cosmos⚡#space 👉subscribe Universe Mysteries ​
