This has been predicted for decades by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
— The findings were reported in a new study published Wednesday in the British journal Nature.
— “Any light that goes into that black hole doesn’t come out, so we shouldn’t be able to see anything that’s behind the black hole.”
Astronomers recently saw something they’d never seen before while peering at a black hole some 800 million light-years away: X-ray light emissions coming from directly behind the black hole at the center of a distant galaxy.
The findings were reported in a new study published Wednesday in the British journal Nature.
“Any light that goes into that black hole doesn’t come out, so we shouldn’t be able to see anything that’s behind the black hole,” study lead author Dan Wilkins of Stanford University said in a statement. “The reason we can see that is because that black hole is warping space, bending light and twisting magnetic fields around itself.”
Such an incredible phenomenon has been predicted for decades by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, but this is the first time the light from behind a black hole has been directly seen, according to IFL Science.
