Astronomers can easily observe black holes

According to Sputnik, some astronomers have recently observed and captured an image of a black hole. Surprisingly, they only use normal telescopes.

Lipunov and his colleagues saw the black hole while observing V404 Cygni (a dual system consisting of a black hole and a companion star located in the constellation Cygnus).

The group of scientists said that astronomers only need normal telescopes and the naked eye can see black holes.

V404 Cygni is located about 6,000 light-years from Earth.(Illustration).

Earlier, in early January 2016, astronomers in Japan discovered that black hole activity could be observed through flashing light that appeared from the gas zone around the black hole during the eruption.

Scientists from Kyoto University (Japan) have obtained a large amount of data from the V404 Cygni, detecting repeated data from a few minutes to several hours.

V404 Cygni "woke up" after 26 years with an outbreak on June 15, 2015. According to the latest research, V404 Cygni is located about 6,000 light-years from Earth.

A black hole is an area in the universe that has such a large gravitational field that its gravity does not allow any form of matter - including light - to escape its boundary, except for the possibility of material loss. out of the black hole thanks to the quantum tunnel effect.
