The black hole has been found to be the fastest-growing black hole in the last nine billion years. The universe is three billion times larger than the sun and swallows up an Earth-size chunk of matter every second.
The new black hole is 500 times more massive than Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. A ring of superhot plasma emits around 7,000 times more light than our entire universe.
The data from the Australian National University's SkyMapper Southern Sky Survey was used to discover the giant. The researchers said that locating the black hole was like finding a very large, unexpected needle in the haystack.
Astronomers have been looking for objects like this for more than 50 years, according to the statement. Thousands of fainter ones have been found, but this bright one had slipped through unnoticed.
At the dawn of the universe, there was an ultra-rare black hole.
The appetite of the black hole is much larger than that of other black holes. The growth of these huge entities slows down as they get bigger. Due to the effects of quantum mechanics, it is believed that thermal radiation from black holes will be released into the atmosphere.
The event horizon of the black hole is so wide that light can't escape. The event horizon is where the planets in our solar system are located.
Black holes don't give off light, so they can't be seen. Astronomers can spot black holes because their intense gravity pulls matter towards the event horizon so quickly that thismatter gets turned into super hot plasma; this gives off light in a ring around the black hole. Astronomers have never found a disk that is as bright as the one discovered. According to the statement, researchers are confident that this is a record that won't be broken.
The black hole boundary is so bright that even amateur astronomer could see it with a powerful telescope.
The team is trying to figure out why the black hole is so 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- 888-609- The scientists think that the birth of this huge void was caused by a catastrophic Cosmic event. "Maybe two big galaxies crashed into each other, sending a lot of material onto the black hole to feed it," Onken said.
It may be difficult to find out how it came to be. It's hard to test a general theory about the formation of black holes because the researchers don't think we'll ever find one again.
Christian Wolf said in the statement that he doesn't believe we will find another black hole like this. We have run out of places to hide.
There are as many as 40 quintillion black holes in the universe, which could account for 1% of all matter in the universe, so the odds that there may still be an even more ravanous black hole out there are not zero.
The study was submitted in June but has not been peer-reviewed. It will be published in the journal if accepted.
