Français : Grâce au Very Large Telescope (VLT) de l'ESO, des astronomes ont découvert un trou noir le plus éloigné de la Terre. Il appartient à NGC 300, une galaxie spirale située à 7 millions d'années-lumières. La vidéo se rapproche du système en question et zoome sur le trou noir. Elle se termine par une vue d'artiste du système (le trou noir aspire la matière d'une étoile à proximité). 中文(简体):NGC 300星系中可能存在的黑洞

Summary
editDescriptionZoom in onto the stellar black hole NGC 300 X-1 (ESO 1004b).webm |
English: Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected a stellar-mass black hole much further away than any other previously known. With a mass twenty times that of the Sun, this is also the second most massive stellar mass black hole ever found. The newly announced black hole lies in a spiral galaxy called NGC 300, six million light-years from Earth.
This video zooms in onto the position of the system containing the stellar-mass black hole, and finishes with an artist’s impression of the system. |
