There is light behind black hole

Own Correspondent : The light was detected by coincidence when researchers were studying the feature known as the corona. It is a form of X-Ray light that is formed by materials falling into a supermassive black hole that can be analysed to map and characterise them.However, the telescope picked up unexpected “luminous echoes", smaller flashes, which were of a different colour than bright flashes. Analysis of the X-ray flares revealed short flashes of photons consistent with the re-emergence of emission from behind the black hole."The energy shifts of these photons identify their origins from different parts of the disk. These are photons that reverberate off the far side of the disk, and are bent around the black hole and magnified by the strong gravitational field," researchers said in the paper.The detection of the bright flare confirms Albert Einstein's theory of relativity as photons bent around the black hole. It has been long known that any light that goes into the black hole does not come out and can not be seen again, however, astrophysicists believe that they were able to see the light because black holes warp space and bend the light as it twists the magnetic field around it.
