Astronomers Find Binary Supermassive Black Hole In Gravitational Blazar
One of the most luminous and energetic entities in the binary supermassive black hole in gravitationally lensed blazar was discovered by astronomers from Argentina, Spain, Italy, the United States, and India. They observed periodic double-peaked flaring episodes that occur every eight years, with a gap of around two years between two flare peaks. After observing such incidents, they created the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope, a global optical… read-more

Indian Astronomers Detect Strongest Flares From Blackhole
Indian astronomer Dr Alok Gupta, along with his team at the Aryabhatta Research Institute Of Observational Sciences (ARIES), have reported one of the strongest flares from a feeding supermassive black hole or blazar called BL Lacertae. Blazars are among the brightest and oldest entities in the universe and are known to emit jets of charged particles travelling nearly at light-speed. Reportedly, the discovered blazar is situated 10 million… read-more
