Black Hole: WOW for Researchers, HUGE Discovery

The black hole observed by researchers recently amazed them from all points of view, this is why this new discovery is important.

Supermassive Black Hole

The black hole recently discovered by researchers completely amazed them, and this is because we are talking about something that has not been seen until now, and something that shows us how surprising the universe is. A supermassive black hole that has a mass 34 billion times greater than that of the sun, and that "eats" a star every day, was discovered by researchers, which amazed them with its size and "appetite" .

The black hole discovered by the researchers has the name J2157, and according to those who have analyzed it, it would be the one with the highest growth rate observed so far. The black hole discovered by them is not only the largest object of this kind in the universe observed so far, but it is also the largest quasar that has been discovered by researchers, and this surprised even more the Americans who monitor it.

Black Hole: WOW for Researchers, HUGE Discovery

The black hole it is in the center of the brightest quasar discovered so far by the American researchers, this group of stars being discovered initially, and then it was concluded that there would also be a black hole. The light emitted by this black hole is visible even at a distance of 12.5 billion light-years from the Earth, and this is how the researchers managed to observe it following the analyzes made for the universe that surrounds us.

"We knew we were in a very massive black hole when we realized the rapid rate of growth. How many black holes can swallow depends on how much mass they already have. So for it to devour matter at such a high rate, we thought it might become a new record holder. And now we know."

The black hole it has a mass 8000 times greater than the one in the Milky Way, and that makes it all the more impressive for all the researchers who follow such objects. The reality is, however, that this black hole still hides a lot of mysteries for researchers, and this is because of the great distance at which it is from the Earth, which makes observation and monitoring much more difficult than usual.

The black hole discovered now shows us that we are extraordinarily small in this big universe, especially if such an object "eats" a sun a day without any problem.
