The most sophisticated space telescope to date, the James Webb space telescope, the successor of the Hubble Space Telescope, will take off to space, to orbit the Earth. The telescope is equipped with a 6.5-meter mirror, infrared sensors, and includes a “sun shield” that will block light from the star itself, highlighting the objects around…
A binary black hole (BBH) is when two black holes (black holes) travel in two adjacent orbits.These two black holes orbit each other. Eventually these two will join. When binary black holes are joined, a large amount of energy is released. This energy is emitted in the form of gravitational waves. Binary black holes are…
