When the Goddard scientists looked at a suspected black hole in a galaxy 100 million light-years away, however, they saw X rays not being emitted but being absorbed--the signature of ionized iron gas being drawn directly into the maw of the hole. The scientists knew the gas was on the move because its X rays were redshifted, stretched as their speed increased so that they...
