Furr explaining structure, ncy wrote, “A black hole’s “surface,” called its event horizon, defines boundary where velocity needed to escape > speed of light, which is speed limit of cosmos.

Meanwhile, NASA also shared time-lapse foot of a stellar-mass black hole, about eight times mass of Sun, drifting away from its orbiting companion star and carrying out superluminal ejection in . 

outburst activity was occurring at 80 per cent speed of light, according to astromers. Dubbed as MAXI J1820+070, black hole X-ray binary was discovered by AstroSat craft and its galactic flare-up was captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. 

Sharing stunning visuals on Twitter, NASA identified it as a stellar-mass black hole located 10,000 light-years from planet Earth. Stellar-mass black holes form after y destroy and engulf massive stars, NASA explained in a release.
