SCE4 Summary (I meant 3 in the last post for the one I was ill during.)

Again, I have had slight problems with voki, though I will attempt to get it as soon as possible.
             Scientists have recently observed that around only 1 percent of gasses going into a black hole have reached its event horizon. The rest may brighten, and is instead ejected from the black hole, with possible x-ray commissions. These results were from one of the longest observation campaigns performed in that area, and most gas that left were hotter than the sun. "We think most large galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their center, but they are too far away for us to study how matter flows near it," said Q. Daniel Wang of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. X-ray data show the gas near the black hole likely originates from winds produced by a disk-shaped distribution of young massive stars, unlike what they had assumed. Because of going in the event horizon makes these lose heat, ejection is necessary for this to happen. The event horizon of Sgr A* casts a shadow against the glowing matter surrounding the black hole. This research could aid efforts using radio telescopes to observe and understand the shadow.
