american actor Ralph Macchio rose to fame thanks to his role as Daniel LaRusso in the film ´The Karated Kid´ in the mid-1980s. A character to which he returned thanks to the series ‘Cobra Kai’.
He was 22 years old when Ralph Macchio got into the skin of the teenage karate student, Daniel LaRusso and executed in the climactic scene one of the most famous hits in cinema: the kick of the crane
The American actor continues to preserve that ‘youth gene’, as he has called it, which allowed him to play that teenager who went to high school, when he was already 22 years old.
“Listen, I blame my parents”said the actor to Peopleto add: “They both look very young for their age. I have a youthful energy for some reason. A healthy lifestyle doesn’t hurt, but I think I just got lucky in the genetics department.´
Who is Ralph Macchio?
Ralph Macchio was born in the town of Huntingtonin Suffolk County, New York, in 1961, but has lived on Long Island and, in the late 1970s, began working in television commercials.
In 1980 he appeared in the film ´Up the Academy` and was also part of the cast of the series ´Eight Is Enough`.
Three years later he shared the bill with Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez and Tom Cruiseamong others, in the feature film ´The Outsiders`, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
His most memorable role, and one that has marked him ever since, came a year later, from the director of ´Rocky`, John G. Avildsen, in ´The Karate Kid´.
Ralph Macchio plays Daniel LaRussoa high school student recently arrived in Los Angeles who is trained by Mr. Miyagi, his building’s janitor and karate teacher, played by the late Noriyuki “Pat” Morita, to deal with school bullies.
He replicated in the role of his girlfriend, the Oscar candidate for ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ (1995), a very young Elisabeth Shue, who was 20 years old at the time.
The film was a resounding success and had two sequels: ‘The Karate Kid Part II’, in 1986; and ‘The Karate Kid Part III’, in 1989.
But his work in front of the cameras was not limited to the adventures of LaRusso, he also participated in titles such as ´Crossroads`, from 1986, or ´My Cousin Vinny`, together with Marisa Tomei and Joe Pesci in 1992.
From Karate Kid to Cobra Kai
Ralph Macchio was one of the best-known faces of the mid-1980s, but as he told the British newspaper The Guardian: “I always put my personal stability before fame.”
He maintained a simple life, at first with his parents on Long Island, and later married his longtime sweetheart, Phyllis Fierro.
“I wasn’t the one who took the most risks and I’m sure there were missed opportunities because of it. But, also, maybe my caution helped me keep my feet on the ground. So, I am at peace with the decisions I made,’ the actor told The Guardian.
“I always kept one foot in and one foot out of Hollywood”Ralph Macchio told Rolling Stone magazine about his experience with fame in that decade of his greatest hits.
The character and the memory of LaRusso have accompanied him throughout all these years.
“I always joke that if there’s a fly in a restaurant I have about nine seconds to get out before someone gives me a pair of chopsticks,” he told People, referring to the scene in the movie where he catches this insect with two chopsticks
However, judging by his return to the character nearly three decades later and the name he gave his son Daniel, it doesn’t seem to bother him.
“There was a time when my son would say to me ‘did you have to do it?’ But now he is proud of it. Unlike Ralph, Daniel is a classic, he never goes out of style, ”he told the aforementioned British outlet.
In 2018, LaRusso and his nemesis, Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka, resumed the story that the film closed in the 20th century.by the creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, in Cobra Kai.
“Jon, Josh and Hayden are ‘Karate Kid’ super fans. They know so much more about movies than I do,” Ralph Macchio told Rolling Stone. “It shaped their childhoods, so they feel like they have the Holy Grail. They are treating him with a lot of respect.”
Cobra Kai has brought many of the original cast back together on screen, but there is one notable absence, the aforementioned “Pat” Morita.
The actor who played Mr. Miyagi passed away in 2005; Macchio had the opportunity to say a few words at his funeral.
“I was nervous about what to say, so I didn’t prepare it much beyond speaking from my heart and knowing how hard it is to have that kind of magic,” the Cobra Kai actor told The Hollywood Reporter. “I always go back to my relationship with him and those performances we had together for a bit of soulful magic,” the actor added.

Review of The King’s Man: The First Mission, the third installment of the spy saga directed and written by Matthew Vaughn. Undoubtedly, one of the most anticipated Christmas movies comes with this prequel to the acclaimed ‘Kingsman: Secret Service’ (2015). But will it retain the wild and irreverent tone of the previous installments?
Synopsis
Third installment of the franchise that tells us about the germ of the already famous English detective agency at the dawn of the last century. A duke directs his small spy network against an evil organization while trying to prevent his son from serving on the front lines during World War I.
Djimon Hounsou and Ralph Fiennes
T-Movie ReviewHe King’s Man: The First Mission (2021)
After more than two years of delay, the film finally lands in theaters The king’s man: The first missionprequel to the acclaimed ‘Kingsman: Secret Service‘ who brought a fresh and light-hearted air to spy movies in 2015.
One year after the release of ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle‘, the director and screenwriter matthew vaughn already spoke of “Kingsman 3”, but first a prequel would have to arrive. Originally planned for the end of 2019, the purchase of foxand the subsequent pandemic delayed The king’s man: The first mission until the end of this 2021.
what is T abouthe king’s man: the first mission
The film, starring the Duke of Oxford (Ralph Fiennes) and his son Conrad (Harris Dickinson), places us in the years of the First World War, which will turn out to be a conflict perfectly directed by a villain in the shadows.
ConradEager to serve his country, he will have to deal with the overprotection and anti-war ideas of his father, who secretly runs the small spy network that precedes the kingsman that we saw in the first two movies. Father and son are the two heroes, each one in his own way, in this story that precisely asks whether being a hero is worth it.
Rhys Ifans
New villains in action
On the side of the antagonists, stands out rasputin. The myth that surrounds the former adviser to Tsar Nicholas II makes him an eccentric villain ideal for the story at hand; and it is that the scenes of the villain, embodied by the Welshman Rhys IfansThey are one of the most memorable in the movie.
It is a pity that, as we will know as soon as we start, it is just one more member of an evil organization made up of much more bland characters. It is worth mentioning Daniel Brülwhich makes the German counterpart of rasputin, with very few minutes, a much more charismatic villain than its leader; an antagonist who will not go down in history as one of the best villains ever seen in the cinema.
ironic and rebellious
In addition to showing off with the spectacular action scenes, whether they are peculiar one-on-one combats, or scenarios of the magnitude of the trenches; on the movie The king’s man: The first mission, matthew vaughn He once again displays that strange ability of his to move naturally from comedy to tension and from tension to drama and vice versa. You can grin from ear to ear while enjoying the action and seconds later receive a terrible emotional blow in the most bizarre and unexpected way possible.
That mixture of sensations that is so organic and at the same time so ironic, so rebellious, is one of the main attractions of this saga. Perhaps for this reason, this prequel works by itself, but it is difficult not to establish a comparison with the predecessors, a comparison from which this chapter loses.
Harris Dickinson and Ralph Fiennes
Inevitable comparisons with its predecessors
That wild and irreverent tone of humor from the original films is still present in this origin story, but the foot of the accelerator has been lifted.
It may be justifiable that English aristocrats of the early twentieth century and their entourage have a more self-conscious and formal style than the characters in Taron Egerton Y Samuel L Jackson in the previous tapes –to put the most important and obvious counterparts-. It is also understandable that at this time they cannot delight us with heads that explode from inoculated microchips or with dangerous laser-whips; even so, there is still a feeling that the movie The king’s man: The first missionwithout wanting to get away from the hooliganism of her predecessors, loses a bit by not being able to take it to the last consequences.
Contrary to what the most demanding snobbery may argue, “more of the same” is not always bad. But “less of the same”, even when it is understandable from the context, leaves a bittersweet taste.

T-Movie Final OpinionHe King’s Man: The First Mission (2021)
To conclude this review of the movie The king’s man: The first mission We can say that we are facing an exciting and fun prequel suitable both for the unfamiliar who want to get into the saga, and for those who have seen the first films, who will already have an idea of what they are going to see. However, it must be said that the level has dropped a bit.

FINAL REVIEW
The movie The king’s man: The first mission is an entertaining proposal of light-hearted action that will please both new viewers and fans of the saga, even if it is a step below previous installments.
THE GOOD
The reflection that exists in the conflict between father and son. The different visions of how to serve, of being a hero.
The action scenes are very showy and fun, accompanied by a great soundtrack.
There’s some really amazing script twist.
Rasputin’s character.
THE BAD
Due to the characters and the historical context, she cannot be as witty and rebellious as the previous ones and it is clear that, deep down, she would like to be.
The most important villain, the mastermind of everything, has no depth or charisma.

Takuma Watari, Sho Hata, Kenichi Nakajima, Keisuke Nansai. Limited quantity and quality of steel supply in a zero-emission future. Nature Sustainability, 2023; DOI: 10.1038/s41893-022-01025-0
A new study focused on the Japanese steel industry shows that if we are truly committed to reaching zero emissions, we must be prepared for a scenario where the amount of steel we can produce is lower. Japan has set a target for a 46% reduction in emissions from steel by 2030, and zero emissions by 2050. So far, the roadmap for achieving this relies heavily on future innovations in technology. Hope is held out for developments in carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen-based technologies.
In the study, Dr. Takuma Watari, a researcher at the National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan, currently working with the University of Cambridge, argues that there is no silver bullet. He says that current plans to cut carbon emissions underestimate how difficult it will be to develop CCS and hydrogen technologies and deploy them widely: “These technologies still face serious technical, economic, and social challenges, and have yet to be implemented at scale. And importantly, it is highly uncertain whether there will be sufficient non-emitting electricity to use these technologies.” We need to confront the possibility that technological innovations might not be ready in time to allow us to maintain current levels of steel production whilst cutting emissions to zero.
The research involved mapping the current flows of steel in Japan’s industry and using a model to explore how the industry might change if a strict carbon budget were applied in future. Dr. Watari explains that with current practice, the quantity and quality of steel produced would dramatically decrease under a zero-emission carbon budget. This is because of a lack of resources and the practice of downcycling, in which scraps of steel containing impurities are used to make new products. It is difficult to remove these impurities, so the new products have different quality and functionality from the original steel.
According to Dr. Watari, “zero-emission steel production is possible by 2050, but in limited quantity and quality compared to current total production. This is due to the limited availability of zero-emission compatible resources and downcycling practices of scrap steel.”
The research indicates that with a carbon budget of zero emissions, the production of steel goods would be dramatically restricted compared to today, reaching about half the current levels at best. In this case, higher-quality steel production (e.g., sheet steel) would be especially hard hit.
The implication is clear. It is not enough to rely on a technological silver bullet materialising to transform the supply of steel. We also need to look seriously at strategies to reduce demand by shifting our culture of steel use and improving our material efficiency. We also need to pursue upcycling to produce high-grade steel from scrap steel.
This will require collaboration from those who use steel as well as those who produce it. Steel products could be made more resource efficient if they are designed to last longer or to be lightweight. Once steel products reach the end of their life, upcycling could be achieved through advanced sorting and shredding to remove impurities from scrap steel. As a society, Japan may also have to become less steel-dependent and shift to a model of ‘service use’ rather than ownership of products. Unlike today, when steel is abundant and cheap, a net-zero future will require us to use scarcer, more expensive steel resources with greater efficiency.
Dr. Watari concludes that we do need to invest in technological innovations, but we cannot simply wait for them to appear. Instead, steel users need to prepare for a world where there is less steel available: “We do not deny the need to invest in innovative production technologies. Rather, what we want to highlight is that we should look for far more strategic options, instead of simply relying on silver bullet production technologies. Placing material efficiency and upcycling at the heart of decarbonisation plans can reduce the over-reliance on innovative production technologies and prepare for the risk that these technologies may not scale up sufficiently in time.”

Takuma Watari, Sho Hata, Kenichi Nakajima, Keisuke Nansai. Limited quantity and quality of steel supply in a zero-emission future. Nature Sustainability, 2023; DOI: 10.1038/s41893-022-01025-0
A new study focused on the Japanese steel industry shows that if we are truly committed to reaching zero emissions, we must be prepared for a scenario where the amount of steel we can produce is lower. Japan has set a target for a 46% reduction in emissions from steel by 2030, and zero emissions by 2050. So far, the roadmap for achieving this relies heavily on future innovations in technology. Hope is held out for developments in carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen-based technologies.
In the study, Dr. Takuma Watari, a researcher at the National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan, currently working with the University of Cambridge, argues that there is no silver bullet. He says that current plans to cut carbon emissions underestimate how difficult it will be to develop CCS and hydrogen technologies and deploy them widely: “These technologies still face serious technical, economic, and social challenges, and have yet to be implemented at scale. And importantly, it is highly uncertain whether there will be sufficient non-emitting electricity to use these technologies.” We need to confront the possibility that technological innovations might not be ready in time to allow us to maintain current levels of steel production whilst cutting emissions to zero.
The research involved mapping the current flows of steel in Japan’s industry and using a model to explore how the industry might change if a strict carbon budget were applied in future. Dr. Watari explains that with current practice, the quantity and quality of steel produced would dramatically decrease under a zero-emission carbon budget. This is because of a lack of resources and the practice of downcycling, in which scraps of steel containing impurities are used to make new products. It is difficult to remove these impurities, so the new products have different quality and functionality from the original steel.
According to Dr. Watari, “zero-emission steel production is possible by 2050, but in limited quantity and quality compared to current total production. This is due to the limited availability of zero-emission compatible resources and downcycling practices of scrap steel.”
The research indicates that with a carbon budget of zero emissions, the production of steel goods would be dramatically restricted compared to today, reaching about half the current levels at best. In this case, higher-quality steel production (e.g., sheet steel) would be especially hard hit.
The implication is clear. It is not enough to rely on a technological silver bullet materialising to transform the supply of steel. We also need to look seriously at strategies to reduce demand by shifting our culture of steel use and improving our material efficiency. We also need to pursue upcycling to produce high-grade steel from scrap steel.
This will require collaboration from those who use steel as well as those who produce it. Steel products could be made more resource efficient if they are designed to last longer or to be lightweight. Once steel products reach the end of their life, upcycling could be achieved through advanced sorting and shredding to remove impurities from scrap steel. As a society, Japan may also have to become less steel-dependent and shift to a model of ‘service use’ rather than ownership of products. Unlike today, when steel is abundant and cheap, a net-zero future will require us to use scarcer, more expensive steel resources with greater efficiency.
Dr. Watari concludes that we do need to invest in technological innovations, but we cannot simply wait for them to appear. Instead, steel users need to prepare for a world where there is less steel available: “We do not deny the need to invest in innovative production technologies. Rather, what we want to highlight is that we should look for far more strategic options, instead of simply relying on silver bullet production technologies. Placing material efficiency and upcycling at the heart of decarbonisation plans can reduce the over-reliance on innovative production technologies and prepare for the risk that these technologies may not scale up sufficiently in time.”

Deadpool #3 gives the iconic Merc With a Mouth a new love interest that not only gives him depth but is also a step forward for queer representation.
The following contains spoilers from deadpool #3, on sale now from Marvel Comics.
The foul-mouth mercenary Deadpool is mostly known for his constant wit and fourth wall breaks. He has found success in his violent ventures of him, but the same can not be said for his forays into romance. Deadpool has certainly had his moments of him, but it has only led to heartbreak and an endless list of ex-wives. However, his newest venture may give him another shot at true love.
In the current run of his self-titled series, Wade was introduced to the dreamy Valentine Vuong, a non-binary assassin. Deadpool meets them when he is given 48 hours to assassinate Otto Octavius, and he’s immediately infatuated. In fact, he seems to only take the assignment just to get Valentine’s number, and he eventually grows closer with them – even if it meant passing out from blood loss in their apartment.
Deadpool’s Newest Romance Establishes An Important Distinction
In Deadpool #3 (by Alyssa Wong, Martin Coccolo, and Neeraj Menon), it seems that Valentine is equally interested in the wisecracking mercenry for hire. The issue features a date between the two and leaves Deadpool flustered. The pair almost kissed before being interrupted by a mutated giraffe attack. Despite the perfectly-on-brand whacky stop to the romance, it’s an explicit set-up to Deadpool’s newest venture in love – one that is openly queer.
Deadpool’s queerness hasn’t really been a secret. His pansexual nature of him has been hinted at in previous runs and was finally confirmed by previous Deadpool writer Gerry Duggan. The revelation has mostly been used for one-off jokes rather than fully developed romances. The relationship marks the first non-hetero relationship for Deadpool. Furthermore, this is explicit confirmation that Deadpool is queer.
Valentine Vuong Sets A New Benchmark for LGBTQ+ Representation
It’s also important that Valentine is a non-binary person. There are few characters in the Marvel Universe that are non-binary and most of their appearances are brief. It should be noted that characters that are genderfluid, like Loki and Christina Carr, move between genders and use multiple pronouns. But what is referred to above are characters that exclusively use they/them pronouns. Valentine Vuong is one of the first non-binary characters to receive a major role in a Marvel comic book.
This is meaningful for two reasons. The first is that writer Alyssa Wong is also non-binary. They are known for introducing major non-binary characters in their other published works stories. The second reason is that many non-binary and transgender individuals are still not recognized as valid by many segments of society. Valentine Vuong’s inclusion is completely casual — there is no questioning of their gender identity, but that identity is fully present. This alone makes the newest run of Deadpool a timely example of LGBTQ+ representation in the Marvel Universe. Deadpool’s immense popularity only increases the visibility of these important gender identity issues.

Street Fighter is the most important fighting video game saga and the one that marked the beginning of a fever for this genre, out in the ancient arcade Just like on home consoles. However, not everything in its award-winning history was success after success; He has also had his falls… some very ugly ones.
We are not talking about the controversy that arose with the delivery of content by drops of SFV. We’re not even going to fall for the commonplace bad movie starring Jean Claude Van Damme launched in 1994. That would be going easy.
We are talking about a bigger infamy: an eponymous comic released by Malibu in 1993 that wanted to hang on to the success of SFII failing epically in the attempt. These comics were based on the events of this game and sought to explore the stories of the world warriors and their relationships with each other. The authors of the comic were Len Strazewski and Don Hillsman II.
Although only three issues were published, it drew attention for its more American graphic style and its explicit violence. Despite his “mature” approach to the series, it was not enough to achieve sales that would allow him to justify his existence. Capcom canceled the project almost immediately upon seeing what they had done with their popular franchise..
The explicit graphic violence was one of the main factors that made fans and Capcom itself reject this Street Fighter comic.
This is not Street Fighter!
Although the graphic style caused the fans they wanted to gouge out their eyes, what most motivated their rejection of this comic were the changes they made to lore of the franchise.
The plot of the comic takes place after the first tournament, that of the original installment. Everything boded well, since the characters had been introduced following their original story, as ryu training to be the best warrior in the world, chun li joining INTERPOL and married Ken Masters.
But when the comic reveals that Ken was killed by Sagat, who stabbed him after a monumental beating, everything rotted and made fans yell in rage that this seemed more Mortal Kombatthat Street Fighter. From there, all that came was another nail in the coffin where this comic currently lies.
Sagat fatalitying Ken Masters? We didn’t see that coming…or is it Kano in the picture?
Other “proposals” that the followers of the saga hated were that Ryu and Chun-Li started a love relationship (although only kisses were shown between them); Bison had a daughter and his evil plan was to create doubles of the world warriors; the addition of a character called The Ferret, created by the publisher as a marketing strategy marketing; Blanka wearing glasses and mentioning a wrestling champion named Mike Hagar (not Haggar).
The comic does not show risqué scenes between Ryu and Chun Li (we know you were wondering that naughty)
It wasn’t all that bad…
The saying goes that something good can be rescued from everything and the comic of Street Fighterfrom 1993 is no exception either (believe it or not). Despite his failure, delivered elements that ended up being included in the Canyon from the series: The first time Chun-Li performed her fireball special move, the first version of Sheng Long, the first appearance of the fake Sheng Long, and the name of Ken Masters’ fiancée and now wife: Eliza.

Guilty: Daryan Wartner admitted making ‘substantial profit’ as he scalped World Cup tickets in Germany and South Africa
The son of disgraced former soccer boss Jack Warner has described his role in a multi-million dollar World Cup ticket scam, buying up seats and selling them at inflated prices, in court documents unsealed today.
Daryan Warner’s guilty plea to a string of charges is set out in a 2013 agreement with US prosecutors to provide evidence of FIFA wrongdoing.
His brother, Daryll, also made a plea deal after being accused of mortgage fraud.
And the documents suggest the US Department of Justice is investigating fraudulent ticket sales dating all the way back to 1994, when the World Cup was held in the United States for the first time.
The probe has highlighted what many have long believed, that FIFA is riddled with corruption that has blighted soccer for years.
This week Sepp Blatter, the governing body’s president, announced his resignation.
One of the earliest signs of the impending storm came at a closed hearing in October 2013, when Daryan Warner, then 45, set out his guilty plea.
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO
Father and son: Jack Warner (left) with his son Daryan, who is now facing the possibility of a jail term after details of his guilty plea to a ticket scam was revealed. He has co-operated with the FBI in its soccer corrupt probe
Rogues’ gallery: Interpol has put jack Warner and five other former FIFA on its most wanted list, issuing international arrest warrants for two former FIFA officials and four executives on charges including racketeering and corruption
‘In 2006, I purchased the tickets directly from FIFA, and I misled FIFA to believe that my partner in reselling the tickets was not involved in the transaction, because I believe that FIFA would not have sold them to me had he been involved,’ he said.
‘In 2010, I purchased tickets from others, in order to mislead FIFA to believe that I was not receiving tickets, because I believed that FIFA would no longer sell tickets directly to me.’
He also described how he had deposited cash at banks in New York in lump sums of less than $10,000 because he knew anything larger would be reported to the authorities.
In a five month period, he said he deposited more than $100,000. As part of his guilty plea, he agreed to pay almost $1.2m that he made from the ticket sales and to provide evidence of bribery and fraud.
His brother, Darryl, pleaded guilty to making a fraudulent mortgage application and wire fraud. The deals were crucial to the Department of Justice Investigation.
Darryl admitted trying to buy a condo in Miami for himself, his father and his brother fraudulently.
Just like the arrangement with Chuck Blazer, it allowed investigators to chase corruption into more senior levels of Fifa.
Their father, Jack Warner, has been charged over alleged corruption at Fifa.
He has been arrested and bailed in his native Trinidad, and made a defiant TV broadcast on Wednesday night claiming he has an ‘avalanche’ of evidence he will reveal.
Ex-FIFA vice president Jack Warner holds a copy of a check as he claims to reveal an ‘avalanche’ of secrets. His sons of him are understood to have co-operated with the FBI in building a case against their father
Scammed: Daryll Warner admitted a mortgage fraud to buy this Miami condo. He told the federal court in Brooklyn that he knew he would have been turned down for a mortgage and engaged in fraud
or
Jack Warner quit his position in FIFA and as head of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF, which was more widely known by its acronym) in the wake of bribery allegations in 2011.
The investigation ended with his resignation. The hearings were conducted in a closed court and the transcripts sealed until now to allow the investigation to continue in secret, unknown to Fifa’s higher echelons.
Despite there were light moments even as serious crimes were being examined.
At one point, Daryan Warner struggled to read a statement setting out his crimes prompting Judge William Kuntz to intervene.
‘Take your time,’ he said. ‘Take a drink of water. Slowly and loudly. Channel your inner Lord Vader, not your inner Woody Allen, okay? That’s what I say all the time.’
His brother’s guilty plea concerned the purchase of a $1m condo in Miami. He told the federal judge that he knew he would have been turned down for a mortgage and made false statements.
He also admitted making a series of deposits of less than $10,000 in banks with the intention of dodging federal reporting rules which notify the Internal Revenue Service of any deposits greater than $10,000, and deposited more than $100,000 in six months from July to December 2011.
Both men are yet to be sentenced. Daryll, who is a US citizen, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years, although it is likely to be significantly less because of his cooperation with the federal authorities.
Daryan, who is not a US citizen, faces removal from the US, and a maximum sentence of 20 years. Similarly it is likely to be significantly less because of his cooperation with the federal authorities.

An international team of scientists has shown there is a crucial link between the interaction of neighbouring galaxies and the enormous amount of gas needed to ‘fuel’ these giant, super-dense, space phenomena. Their findings are due to be published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
A black hole can be created when a star collapses, squeezing matter into a relatively tiny space. This increases the force of gravity to a point where nothing can escape, not even light — hence the name.
Some black holes are gigantic, with masses millions of times greater than our sun, emitting enormous amounts of energy. These are known as ‘supermassive black holes’ and exactly how they are formed or gain enough fuel to power themselves is still a mystery.
Astrophysicist and lead researcher from the University of Southampton, Dr Sandra Raimundo, comments: “Supermassive black holes fuel their activity by, in part, the gradual accumulation of gas from the environment around them. Supermassive black holes can make the centres of galaxies shine very brightly when they capture gas and it’s thought this process can be a major influence on the way that galaxies look today. How SMBHs get enough fuel to sustain their activity and growth still puzzles astronomers, but the work we have carried out provides a step towards understanding this.”
The Southampton scientist, working with researchers at the universities of Copenhagen and California, used data from the 4-metre Anglo-Australian telescope in New South Wales, Australia* to study the orbits of gas and stars in a large sample of more than 3000 galaxies. They identified those with the presence of what is known as ‘misaligned’ gas — in other words, gas which rotates in a different direction from the stars in the galaxy, signalling a past galaxy interaction. They then found that galaxies with misaligned gas had a higher fraction of active supermassive black holes.
The results showed a clear link between misaligned gas and supermassive black hole activity — suggesting the gas is transferred where two galaxies meet, meanders vast distances through space and then succumbs to the huge gravitational forces of the supermassive black hole — pulled in and swallowed up as a vital source of fuel. Astronomers have long suspected that a merger with another galaxy could provide this source of gas, but direct evidence for this has been elusive.
Dr Raimundo explains: “The work that we carried out shows the presence of gas that is misaligned from stars is associated with an increase in the fraction of active supermassive black holes. Since misaligned gas is a clear sign of a past interaction between two galaxies, our work shows that galaxy interactions provide fuel to power active supermassive black holes.
“This is the first time that a direct connection has been observed between the formation and presence of misaligned gas and the fuelling of active supermassive black holes.”
Dr Marianne Vestergaard, a co-author in the study, highlights: “What is exciting about these observations is that we can now, for the very first time, identify the captured gas and trace it all the way to the centre where the black hole is devouring it.”
The scientists now hope to extend their research and use their findings to calculate how much of the total mass of supermassive black holes grew from this mechanism and how important this was in the early Universe.
