NASA publishes a picture of a "pink" black hole!



A false-color image, taken by the "Chandra X-ray Observatory" in 2012, shows an unusual explosion from a black hole, as the X-ray output increased by at least 3,000 times in the M83 galaxy.

Chandra observed the so-called ULX X-ray source, or super-bright X-ray source. The remarkable behavior of this ULX in the M83 provides direct evidence of a host of older, volatile, stellar-mass black holes.

And NASA released the stunning image of a black hole ejecting a stream of particles, as the X-ray burst appeared in pink.

Black holes are known to release huge amounts of energy that explode from the void in their center. However, not many black holes were seen setting off a very beautiful explosion.

A NASA image shows a huge wave of pink particles blasting off from the center of the black hole in galaxy M83.

Unfortunately, the particles will not be pink to the human eye, as they are a "pseudo color image". False-color images consist of colors in the invisible electromagnetic spectrum.

Stellar mass black holes are the most common type of black hole found throughout the universe.

They are formed when a star no less than three times the size of our sun collapses. The attraction of these entities is so strong that even light cannot escape from them.
