X-ray flashes from a supermassive black hole

!(70%)Black hole

.abstract One supermassive black hole has kept astronomers glued to their scopes for the last several years. The black hole in question is 1ES 1927+654, which is about as massive as a million suns and sits in a galaxy that is 270 million light-years away. In 2018, astronomers at MIT and elsewhere observed that the black hole’s corona — a cloud of whirling, white-hot plasma — suddenly disappeared, before reassembling months later. The brief though dramatic shut-off was a first in black hole astronomy.

This would be the closest thing we know of around any black hole. - Megan Masterson, a graduate student in physics at MIT
