第一张黑洞相片将被发布。全球六地同步展示。据公民日报消息，4月10日晚9时，人类首张黑洞相片即将在比利时布鲁塞尔、智利圣地亚哥、我国上海和台北、日本东京、美国华盛顿全球六地同步发布。此前，地舆学家都是经过各种直接的根据来标明黑洞的存在，而这次经过EHT作业视界望远镜项目则是经过这个具有地球直径的“虚拟望远镜”直接观测到了黑洞边缘的图像。

实际上，黑洞也是托福听力常常呈现的内容。下面新东方网托福频道就和我们共享有关黑洞(black holes)的

英文介绍和常用词。

Astronomers think the object shown in this Chandra X-ray Observatory image(in box) may be an elusive intermediate-mass black hole. Located about 32million light-years from Earth in the Messier 74 galaxy (M74), this object emitsperiodic bursts of x-rays at a rate that suggests it is much larger than astellar-mass black hole but significantly smaller than the supermassive blackholes found at the centers of galaxies. Few such middling black holes have beendiscovered, and scientists aren’t sure how they form.

Black holes are the cold remnants of former stars, so dense that nomatter—not even light—is able to escape their powerful gravitational pull.

While most stars end up as white dwarfs or neutron stars, black holes arethe last evolutionary stage in the lifetimes of enormous stars that had been atleast 10 or 15 times as massive as our own sun.

When giant stars reach the final stages of their lives they often detonatein cataclysms known as supernovae. Such an explosion scatters most of a starinto the void of space but leaves behind a large “cold” remnant on which fusionno longer takes place.
