A new star formation mechanism has been discovered. Supermassive black holes may be the birthplace of a vast number of planets. Astrophysicists suggest that dust disks around active galactic nuclei create conditions for the formation of entire populations of new worlds. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing SciNews. Formation Mechanism: From Dust Particles to Stars Computer simulations of a highly magnetized disk of an active galactic nucleus…
Giant Planets May Be Born in the Shadow of Supermassive Black Holes

But new research suggests the environment around supermassive black holes may also be surprisingly creative, providing a nursery where enormous planets—and perhaps even new stars—can form. Wladimir Lyra, an astronomer at New Mexico State University, and his colleagues used computer simulations […] The post Giant Planets May Be Born in the Shadow of Su…
