Flipboard Science Desk<p>In contrast to the popular idea of black holes constantly "gobbling up" matter, they can spend long periods of time in a dormant, inactive phase. But sometimes, they pop back to life. Such was the case with the black hole at the center of an unremarkable galaxy some 300 light-years away. The gravitational monster "suddenly lit up and recently began producing unprecedented flashes of X-ray light.” Read about it from phys.org:</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/_0u79-" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/_0u79-</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Space</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/BlackHoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHoles</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/BackYardAstronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BackYardAstronomy</span></a></p>

HimmelhvælvI remember seeing the Horsehead nebula in my parents’ encyclopedia as a kid. I was amazed at how such a thing could exist. And now technologyy has evolved so far, that I can take the same picture from my own backyard! Here it is accompanied by the Flame nebula in the lower left together with the star Allnitak, which is the left most star in Orion’s belt. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horsehead?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horsehead</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/B33?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#B33</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NGC2023?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NGC2023</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horseheadnebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horseheadnebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/flamenebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flamenebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/deepsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deepsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/backyardastronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backyardastronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astroshots?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astroshots</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophoto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophoto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/universe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universe</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/universetoday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universetoday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stars?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stars</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nightphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skywatcher?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skywatcher</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/touptek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#touptek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/backyardastrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backyardastrophotography</a>

I've provided the annotated version too.</p><p>What is it, does anyone know?

HimmelhvælvM104 is my favourite galaxy! <br> So very photogenic with its distinct dust lane around the central bulge of stars, hanging in space like a small pendant - or a Sombrero apparently. In fact it’s composed of several hundred billion individual stars and is estimated at a diameter of 50.000 lightyears so the only reason for it appearing small is its mind-melting distance of 28 million lightyears (meaning that the fastest thing in the universe - light - has travelled for 28 million years before it hit my telescope in my backyard. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/M104?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#M104</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sombrerogalaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sombrerogalaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/deepsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deepsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/backyardastronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backyardastronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astroshots?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astroshots</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophoto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophoto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/universe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universe</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/universetoday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#universetoday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nightsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stars?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stars</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nightphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nightphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skywatcher?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skywatcher</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/touptek?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#touptek</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/backyardastrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backyardastrophotography</a>
