Jun 14, 2013 · A new study by astronomers at NASA, Johns Hopkins University and the Rochester Institute of Technology confirms long-held suspicions about how stellar-mass black holes produce their highest-energy light. This animation of supercomputer data takes you to the inner zone of the accretion disk of a stellar-mass black hole.

In a magnificent first, we finally have direct observational evidence of the stellar process that produces neutron stars and black holes. From a supernova that exploded in a nearby galaxy, astronomers observed the emergence of something with the hallmarks of such compact objects.

Put simply, if a black hole sucks things in, then a white hole spits them out again – wherever that may be – and the two are connected via an inter-dimensional tunnel, known as a wormhole. Or, it’s also hypothesised, if you waited long enough, the black hole will turn into a white one, anyway.
A supermassive black hole (SMBH) is an extremely large black hole, on the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses (M ☉), and is theorized to exist in the center of almost all massive galaxies.
