✨Active galaxy NGC 1275 lies at the heart of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster, it has huge filaments of gas that extend out from the core. They look like the tentacles of an immense galactic octopus and are 20,000 light years long, and just 200 light years wide. They are held in place by powerful magnetic fields from the massive central black hole✨

​​✨What would happen if a nuclear bomb was detonated in space?

💥When a nuclear bomb explodes on Earth, the huge release of radiation triggers the rapid expansion of air around it, causing the intense blast wave that wreaks so much destruction.

In the vacuum of space, the lack of air means the principal destructive effects come not from the blast, but instead from the particles and radiation pouring out of the bomb, which dump their energy as heat on striking the target✨

✨To a distant observer a clock near a black hole would appears to tick more slowly, this is gravitational time dilation. To the same observer, an object falling into a black hole would appear to slow down as it approached the event horizon, taking an infinite amount of time to reach it✨

✨A feeding black hole has an accretion disk surrounding it. This is a very extreme environment, and creates intense magnetic fields around the black hole. These magnetic fields funnel high energy particles into a narrow jet travelling at close to the speed of light, erupting from above and below the black hole. These jets can be so long that their length can exceed the host galaxy’s diameter✨

✨“Pluto is a mysterious object that is constantly surprising us.”

' 2015 flyby revealed that tiny Pluto has a hazy atmosphere. Now, data from helps explain how the haze changes during Pluto's long orbit around the Sun✨

✨The defining feature of every black hole is the so called "event horizon". Event horizon is a surface in space-time that marks a point of no return, and once an object crosses this surface, it cannot return to the other side✨

Quark Matter

✨Quark matter is an extremely dense phase of matter made up of subatomic particles called quarks. This theoretical phase would occur at extremely high temperatures and densities. It may exist at the heart of neutron stars. It can also be created for brief moments in particle colliders on Earth, such as CERN's large hadron collider✨

✨Think big. Now think bigger.!!

Two galaxy clusters, containing hundreds of galaxies each, collided millions of years ago and became tied together by gravity. Now, a supermassive black hole is tearing the two apart on a galactic stage✨
