In general relativity, a naked singularity is a hypothetical gravitational singularity without an event horizon.. When there exists at least one causal geodesic that, in the future, extends to an observer either at infinity or to an observer comoving with the collapsing cloud, and in the past terminates at the gravitational singularity, then that singularity is referred to as a naked ...
English: Gravitational lensing of an overextremal Kerr-Newman naked ring singularity with spin a/M=√2 and charge Q/M=√2, in natural units of G=K=c=1 (so a²+Q²=2M²). The observer is at r=50M and views the naked singularity from the equatorial plane (edge on); its left side is rotating towards the observer.
The black hole’s boundary — the event horizon from which the EHT takes its name — is around 2.5 times smaller than the shadow it casts and measures just under 40 billion km across. While this may sound large, this ring is only about 40 microarcseconds across — equivalent to measuring the length of a credit card on the surface of the Moon.
Over a year ago, a group of researchers made a revolutionary breakthrough when they successfully captured the first-ever image of a celestial phenomenon — a black hole. The short sequence of ...
Scientists have revealed an astonishing new image of the black hole in the middle of our galaxy. The object – known as Sagittarius A* – is shown in polarised light for the first time, in a ...
This is the first image of Sagittarius A* (or Sgr A* for short), the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, 27,000 light-years from Earth. It's the first direct visual ...
There is no evidence that the electron is a black hole (or naked singularity) or not. Furthermore, since the electron is quantum-mechanical in nature, any description purely in terms of general relativity is incomplete until a better model based on understanding of quantum nature of black holes and gravitational behaviour of quantum particles ...
