Fermi space telescope updated software

Software Update for Gamma Ray Observatory "Fermi" will allow the telescope to observe now more high-energy photons than was previously potential.

Gamma Ray Observatory "Fermi" registers the most high-energy events in the Universe since 2008; however, astronomers have long disheartening that many photons pass freely through the detector telescope.

Milky Way's black hole goes bang powerful flash

For unknown reason, the black hole (BH), located in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, regarding once a day generates an X-ray flash. Such outbreaks last for several hours, and their brightness can in some cases exceed the normal brightness of the black hole, even a hundred times. But in February 2012, astronomers using the X-ray Observatory "Chandra", recorded the most powerful flare ever observed on the central black hole in our galaxy known as Sagittarius A *.
