Astronomers Discover Rare, Reversed Black Hole , For the First Time.<br />'The Independent' reports that NASA has <br />detected what they believe to be the spontaneous <br />reversal of a black hole's magnetic poles. .<br />Rapid changes in visible and ultraviolet <br />light have been seen in a few dozen <br />galaxies similar to this one, Sibasish Laha, Research scientist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Center, via 'The Independent'.<br />But this event marks the first time we’ve <br />seen X-rays dropping out completely <br />while the other wavelengths brighten, Sibasish Laha, Research scientist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and Nasa’s Goddard Space Flight Center, via 'The Independent'.<br />Astronomers first noticed that <br />a galaxy called 1ES1927+654 had brightened <br />by nearly 100 times in March 2018. .<br />Astronomers first noticed that <br />a galaxy called 1ES1927+654 had brightened <br />by nearly 100 times in March 2018. .<br />According to further research, <br />the eruption had begun at the end of 2017. .<br />It was very exciting to delve into <br />this galaxy’s strange explosive episode <br />and try to understand the possible <br />physical processes at work, José Acosta-Pulido, Co-author at the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics, via 'The Independent'.<br />'The Independent' reports that <br />a supermassive black hole resides <br />at the center of most large galaxies.<br />According to astronomers, the magnetic field of the black <br />hole is what creates and sustains the corona, a cloud of <br />extremely hot particles that produce high-energy x-rays.<br />A magnetic reversal, where the north pole <br />becomes south and vice versa, seems to best <br />fit the observations. The field initially <br />weakens at the outskirts of the accretion <br />disk, leading to greater heating and <br />brightening in visible and UV light, Mitchell Begelman, Co-author and professor in the department of astrophysical and planetary sciences at the <br />University of Colorado Boulder, via 'The Independent'.<br />The team's findings have been accepted for publication in 'The Astrophysical Journal.'
