Enlarged Spleen Overview. The spleen is an important organ in the immune system. It is a bean shaped structure, located in the left upper portion of the abdominal cavity, under the diaphragm, tucked in between the 9th and 11th ribs, in the mid-back.
Chandra and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope later collected data from the event's afterglow, and together the observations led astronomers to conclude that the powerful explosions can result when a black hole and a neutron star collide, producing another black hole.
A spatial boundary around a black hole inside which gravity is strong enough to prevent all matter and radiation from escaping. The inability of even light to escape this region is what gives black holes their name.
