Cosmic Diary - Black Holes
Cosmic Diary is now 6 months old and has a new feature article Black Holes by Nadine Neumayer of the European Southern Observatory (ESO), Munich, Germany. From the blurb:
Few scientific topics capture people's imaginations as well as black holes. The mere mention is often enough to interest and captivate an audience. But how much do scientists actually know about these astronomical anomalies? How are they related to quasars, x-rays, and galaxies? And of course, if they swallow light, how can we see them? This article will help put many pieces of the puzzle together, resulting in a clear image explaining all about the nature of black holes.
