Scientists can now see the corona `` lighting up material around the black hole , '' which allows them to study `` the most extreme light-bending effects '' of Albert Einstein 's theory of general relativity , said NuSTAR 's principal investigator , Fiona Harrison , in the news release . NASA 's team searches the sky looking for black holes . The black hole known as Markarian 335 is capturing and reflecting nearby X - ray light . The event is literally throwing light on how Einstein 's theory of relativity works in extremes .
