• The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has captured eight rare images of black holes, providing insights into their interactions with galaxies, gas, and light in deep space, showcasing their powerful presence in the universe.
• Scientists observed a supermassive black hole in galaxy SDSS J1354+1327, located about 900 million light-years from Earth, creating giant bubbles of hot gas, with one growing and another disappearing.
• The images reveal different types of black hole sources, including 'type 1 sources' that are visible from above or below, and 'type 2 sources' where the view is blocked by a ring of dust called a torus.
• The observations include a black hole in galaxy NGC 5548 with a stream of clumpy gas blocking X-rays, and a supermassive black hole in the dense galaxy M60-UCD1, which is 21 million times heavier than the Sun, along with a binary black hole system in the quasar Markarian 231.
