Too many irons in the fire? This new spectrum from @JAXA_en ’s XRISM sports a big spike typical of iron at very high temperatures. So, the hot disk of material surrounding the central black hole in galaxy NGC 4151 contains iron. #BlackHoleWeek

When you think of black holes, you probably think of massive cosmic garbage disposals that devour everything they encounter. But astronomers could use Roman to find an unexplored category of lightweight black holes. Learn how: #BlackHoleWeek
