NASA find helps understanding of black holes

A COSMIC explosion seen 31 years ago may have been the birth cry of the youngest black hole ever observed, which could help researchers understand how black holes are born and evolve.

NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory picked up strong X-ray emissions coming from the region around an exploded star, or supernova, named SN 1979C, about 50 million light-years away in the Virgo cluster.

Chandra is the world’s most powerful X-ray telescope.
