What the NEW black hole discovery tells us!

The video discusses the groundbreaking detection of light from behind a black hole, confirming Einstein's theory of general relativity. It explains how X-ray bursts and accretion disks around black holes are studied using X-ray telescopes. The video delves into the role of magnetic fields and the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, which allows light to bend around massive objects. The creative methods astronomers use to distinguish light from different parts of a black hole are highlighted, emphasizing the significance of this discovery.

How does the color of light change when it comes from different parts of the accretion disk?

What is the phenomenon that allows light to bend around massive objects like black holes?

Discuss the implications of confirming Einstein's theory of general relativity through black hole observations.
