I'm surprised that scientists have found a way to explain why those massive black holes are so hard to detect. It makes total sense now - all that gas surrounding them is like a cosmic shield, absorbing all that X-ray radiation . But still, it's mind-blowing that these young black holes can grow so fast surrounded by all that dense material . And I'm curious about this cocoon phase thing, how long does it last and how common was it in the early universe? Maybe we'll get some answers soon with those new James Webb Space Telescope data
omg i was thinking about astronomy in physics class yesterday and then i saw this news online! scientists think that supermassive black holes have these gas cocoons around them when they're young it makes sense why we can't see them clearly with our telescopes, right? like if you put a big blanket around something, you can't see what's underneath, lol . but seriously, this is so cool! the fact that these black holes are growing so fast and being surrounded by all this gas and dust... it's just wild . i wonder how long these cocoons last tho? do they disappear after a certain point or what?
I'm freaking out about this one! Like, we thought we knew how supermassive black holes formed, but nope, scientists just dropped a bombshell that they might be surrounded by some crazy dense gas cocoon thingy in the beginning. It's like they're wearing some kind of cosmic cloak that absorbs all the X-rays and radio waves, making them invisible to our telescopes
I mean, can you even imagine? These young black holes are basically just sitting there, sucking up all this gas and dust, growing bigger and bigger... it's wild! And the best part is that we have new data from the James Webb Space Telescope that might help us figure out how long this cocoon phase lasts and if it happens to other galaxies. I'm so down for more research on this - it's like a cosmic puzzle, and scientists are just starting to fill in the pieces
