In fact, only one of them is likely to lightly tap an atom in your body in your entire lifetime. Most neutrinos produced by objects […]
Scientists have used artificial intelligence to construct a three-dimensional model of an energetic outburst, or flare, that occurred around the Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). This 3D model could help scientists develop a clearer picture of the tumultuous environment that forms around supermassive black holes in general. The material swirling around […]
