[BLIP.TV VERSION] [HI-RES VERSION] NASA Science Briefing: Chandra X-ray Observatory Detects "Baby" Black Hole Neighbor November 16, 2010      A science briefing held at NASA Headquarters Nov. 15 discusses the discovery by astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory of what could be the youngest black hole in our cosmic neighborhood — a mere 30 years old. The "baby" black hole is a remnant of SN 1979C, a supernova in the galaxy M100 about 50 million light years from Earth. Scientists believe that SN1979C, discovered by an amateur astronomer in 1979, formed with the collapse of a star about 20 times more massive than our Sun. The object's detection provides a unique opportunity to watch a black hole develop during infancy. SCVTV Santa Clarita Nonprofit Public Television Needs Your Support!
