Record breaking flies from black hole

Quasars are very distant galaxies with extremely luminous core areas. Astronomers believe that massive black holes are the source of kvasarernes high energy show.

The supermassive black holes in quasars create such strong and very energy-rich effluents of material ejected and affect their surroundings. Astronomers have now found the most energetic outflows from a quasar ever.

Gigantic black hole surprise

Astronomers have discovered a giant black hole that is surprisingly heavy in relation to the galaxy hole live in.

Astronomers believe that December 21, 2012 - the day that very mistrustful people waiting for the end of the world - will be the most common. According to them, the Sun will have no outbreaks, and will not even magnetic storms.

"Even the magnetic storms on that day will not be", - said the director of the Astronomical Observatory of Irkutsk State University Sergei Yazev.
