The black hole that the researchers recently discovered comes with an impressive premiere that few expected at this moment, and we are talking about a revelation that more than likely surprised a lot of people. Analyzing galaxies that emit gamma rays, an extreme form of light emitted in the universe, researchers have also discovered the most distant black hole that is part of such an impressive type of galaxy.
The black hole which would be at the center of a galaxy called BL Lacertae would be a supermassive one, but that's not all, because its age would also be another impressive element for researchers. According to the data collected by them, the black hole that was discovered by them would have been formed, most likely together with the galaxy of which it is a part, in the first 2 billion years of the existence of the universe of which we are a part.
Black Hole: IMPRESSIVE Discovery Made in the Premiere
The black hole from the respective galaxy would have an age of approximately 11.8 billion years, considering that the universe would have an age calculated at 13.8 billion years, according to the theories advanced by multiple researchers. A black hole that exists in a galaxy of this kind is called a blazar used by researchers, the galaxies being active because those black holes emit jets of strong radiation in the universe, and are directed towards the Earth.
"An international team of astronomers has identified the most distant example of a rare class of gamma-ray emitting galaxies. The so-called BL Lacertae object was discovered in the cosmic dawn, in the first two billion years of the universe era. Today, the cosmos is 13,8 billion years old. Only a small fraction of galaxies emit gamma rays, which is the most extreme form of light. Astronomers believe that these highly energetic photons come from the vicinity of a supermassive black hole at the center of these galaxies."
The black hole from that galaxy does not have enough power to throw very strong gamma radiation towards the Earth, but the fact that it is directed towards us helps the researchers to analyze them more carefully. The discovery now is impressive from all points of view, this is probably the "youngest" black hole discovered, with an age of over 10 billion years, something that shows us how small our life is compared to the evolution of time in the universe.
The black hole that we are talking about now is at a colossal distance from Earth, so it will not be able to be analyzed extremely seriously, but scientists are trying to find out as much as possible about it.
