Interactions between Fast-Moving Electrons and Photons Lead to X-ray Emission from Blazar Jets

In new research, astronomers used NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to observe a highly relativistic jet emanating from the blazar BL Lacertae, a supermassive black hole surrounded by a bright disk and jets oriented toward Earth. This artist’s concept depicts the central region of the blazar BL Lacertae, a…

Physicists create ‘black hole bomb’ for first time on Earth, validating decades-old theory

An illustration of a black hole erupting with energy. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) Researchers have created a "black hole bomb" in the lab for the first time. In 1972, physicists William Press and Saul Teukolsky described a theoretical phenomenon called a black hole bomb, in which mirrors enclose, reflect and exponentially…

The White House has proposed slashing NASA's budget by 24 percent, dropping it from $24.8 billion to $18.8 billion. If approved, it would mark one of the agency's deepest single-year cuts in federal support, and crash its inflation-adjusted funding to levels not seen in decades. The cuts are just a…
