The material falling into a black hole emits light in narrow wavelength regions. The double set of broad emission lines is pretty conclusive evidence of two black holes. Todd Boroson and Tod Lauer from the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO).

In 2006, one of the largest solar flares observed for 30 years erupted, saturating X-ray cameras on board observatories orbiting Earth.
Pure hydrogen streamed past the spacecraft for a full 90 minutes, but they cannot exist in the extreme environment surrounding the flare site. &#8220;We believe they began their journey to Earth in pieces, as protons [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[http://www.universetoday.com/2008/12/03/swift-detects-x-ray-emissions-from-comets/
there is an interesting quirk as most comets interact with the solar wind within 3AU from the solar surface.
Energetic solar wind ions impact the coma, capturing electrons from neutral atoms. As the electrons become attached to their new parent nuclei (the solar wind ion), energy is released in the form of X-rays.

creating the bubbles may stunt the growth of the black hole, as well as curb star formation in elliptical galaxies.
M84 has just such a black hole, and at the ends of each of its jets large cavities of ionized gas (plasma) form. The bubbles measure 13,000 light years across, and are formed about every 10 [...]]]></description>
