Galaxy I Zwicky 1 is the center of the light behind the supermassive black hole. Scientists are seeing this phenomenon for the first time.
Black holes are regions of space and time. The gravitational pull is very strong. Even from his grasp, even light would not escape. However, extreme gravity is capable of warping the space around it.
Thus, the light will reverberate and bend around the object on the back. With this phenomenon, astronomers were able to observe light from behind a black hole for the first time.

For the First Time, Light Comes Directly from a Black Hole at the Center of Galaxy I Zwicky 1
Launching the iflscience page, there will be no light that escapes from a black hole. Falling material will form an extreme glow that is visible around cosmic objects. Then it will form a corona and provide power to the light source continuously in the universe.
Black holes will bend space and time in such a way. This happens because of the great gravity. Therefore, it allows astronomers to see it directly from behind it.
However, until now this incident has never been observed. The active cosmic object is located at a distance of about 800 million light years. Researchers have seen the emission of X-rays, the light coming directly from the black hole at the center of galaxy I Zwicky 1.
Any light that enters the hole will not come out again. So, the researchers should not see anything from behind the hole.
This was stated by Dr Dan Wilkins, of the Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Particle Cosmology at Stanford and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Then the reason why you can see it is because the black hole bends space. In addition, it bends light and rotates the magnetic field around it.

The Phenomenon of Light from a Black Hole
For decades, light phenomena from black holes such as those at the center of galaxy I Zwicky 1 have been predicted. Einstein’s general theory of relativity had predicted it. But for the first time the light from a black hole is seen directly at the center of the galaxy.
Astronomers study the corona of a supermassive black hole. The corona turned out to be more dynamic than previously thought. In some extreme cases it will even disappear.
The black corona is a source of X-ray light that radiates from around the object. The team saw the flare in galaxy I Zwicky 1. It looks so much brighter that some of the light reflected off the gas falls back into the black hole.
When the light bounces off and bends around a black hole with the object’s extreme gravity, the team will see it. However, you must use the NASA and ESA space telescopes.
Bright flares of X-rays will be emitted by gas falling into the black hole from its accretion disk. In addition, it radiates from the surrounding gas and dust disk.
Light Travel Observation
For the first time, the team directly saw light from the black hole at the center of galaxy I Zwicky 1. Not only will the light be observed, but the team will also understand its journey. Note how X-rays can change color as they move and bend around the back of a black hole.
Then investigate the origin of the flare, as the team saw a cluster of smaller flashes. X-rays are reflected from behind the disk, and the magnetic field is then bound. When you approach a black hole, it heats up everything around it.
The magnetic field also produces high electrons that can give rise to X-rays. Observations of Einstein’s theory will help research with the aid of the new X-ray telescope from the European Space Agency’s Anthens.
Observations with high resolution will record extraordinary phenomena. So that it can unravel more mysteries around black holes. This is possible thanks to larger X-ray telescopes with giant mirrors.
By observing the journey around the back of the black hole, the team hopes to find out what happens near the gravitational vortex. The team’s next step will be to create a 3D map of the environment around the black hole. So that we understand about the black hole’s corona which is capable of producing X-rays in galaxy I Zwicky 1. (R10/HR Online)
