Greatest Supermassive Black Hole Found

April 7, 2016 By Troy G. Bennett

Supermassive Black Hole

A huge supermassive black hole was discovered in an unlikely place.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – Scientists were recently surprised by the discovery of a supermassive black hole in a medium-sized galaxy. The humongous hole is believed to have seventeen billion times our Sun’s mass, being only a little smaller than the largest black hole known to man that weights about 21 billion masses of the Sun.

The newly-discovered black hole is located in the center of the NGC 1600 galaxy, which is about two hundred million light-years away from our planet in the Eridanus constellation. The peculiarity of the situation lies in the fact that this very large black hole is housed by an average-sized galaxy. Since supermassive black holes are usually found in denser clusters of galaxies, scientists might need to rethink the theories about the mysterious phenomenon that swallow celestial objects.

According to co-author of the study Chung-Pei Ma, there might exist other NGC 1600s at ordinary sites which were previously overlooked. Ma is also the MASSIVE Survey chief, which is a multi-telescope project meant to identify and classify the greatest and closest black holes and galaxies.

NGC 1600 was first found by the McDonald Observatory from Texas. While the first observation did not provide a lot of details, the team of scientists immediately knew they had something unique on their hands. Ma has stated that

“It was a little bit like looking at a hurricane from very far away. We couldn’t quite tell how big this hurricane was, this black hole was, but the hurricane was so big that we already started to feel the wind using this coarser data.”

After deciding that they had indeed discovered an immense black hole, the team took a look at the elliptical galaxy by using the Hubble Space Telescope of NASA and the northern part of the Gemini Observatory. The twin telescopes located in Chile and Hawaii permitted them to test the sphere of influence of NGC 1600. In this way, they found that only a seventeen billion solar mass supermassive black hole could move the stars at such a high speed.

Smaller galaxies are more numerous than extremely dense ones where most black holes have been discovered. The finding of NGC 1600 could be only the tip of the iceberg, and the MASSIVE project is set to reveal more details about black holes and their locations.

The study was published in the Nature journal today on April 6.

Latest Rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S7

February 7, 2016 By Troy G. Bennett

"Latest Rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S7 "

The new handset will feature a 3000 mAh battery which will make the phone last 2 days after a full charge.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – These days Samsung seems to be busy as a bee because, in just two weeks, the tech giant is going to unveil its newest flagship, the Galaxy S7. Here are the latest rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S7.

Over the last couple of months, there were many rumors about the S7 series. Although many of them were viewed with skepticism, most of them proved to be true. There was one referring to Samsung wanting to pack a more capacitive battery into the new handset.

Well, it would seem that this rumor is partly true, and we even have a witness to confirm it. Eldar Murtazin is a Russian blogger, specialized in writing techie articles. According to a recent post, the Russian blogger declared that he managed to take hold of some leaked pictures from Samsung, depicting the device’s battery capacity.

Frankly, if the rumors prove to be true, then we can only say this is the most logical step Samsung can take. Do keep in mind that most Samsung handsets from the Galaxy family are noted for their high specs, not for their battery life.

Now, according to these rumors, the new S7 handset will be able to last more than two days. If this statement seems baffling, wait until you hear about what other things can this battery do. According to the same Russian blogger, the device is capable of playing 17+ hours of HQ videos, with the screen set at 100 percent brightness.

And to top it all off, the handset will also be able to survive up to two days with the screen set at 75 percent brightness.

Coming directly from the horse’s mouth, it would seem that the tech giant opted to mount 3000 mAh battery on the S7 handset. As for the S7 edge, Samsung wants to mount a 3500 mAh. A most sensible move indeed, given the fact that Samsung has announced that it wants to update most of the applications from its online store.

According to the latest rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S7, it also seems highly plausible that the handset will be launched on the same date as LG G5. LG’s crowning achievement will feature a 5.5-inch screen, more storing space thanks to a nifty microSD slot and not to mention dual camera. Looks like Samsung has some tough completion ahead, but the company is not yet out of tricks.

James Vincent from The Verge reported that Samsung plans to launch on the same date a 360-degree camera that is compatible with the Galaxy S7.

Samsung’s flagship will go live on the 21st of February, during a tech event hosted in Barcelona.
