New Delhi | Jagran Trending Desk: Astronomers from an Australian university have recently discovered a black hole, which can swallow Earth one per second. This black hole is also the fastest growing black hole in the last nine billion years. According to NASA, there is a black hole in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot escape. Black holes are invisible because no light can escape. They are visible only with space telescopes that have special instruments.
This black hole has been discovered by astronomers from the Australian National University (ANU) and is the fastest growing black hole in the last 9 billion years. According to lead researchers and team leaders, Dr Christopher Onken and co-author Christian Wolf, this black hole is 7000 times brighter than all the light from our own galaxy. Therefore, it was visible to astronomers, who were well equipped. He described this black hole as ‘a very large, unpredictable needle in a haystack’. In addition, it has the potential to consume the equivalent of one earth per second.
According to the researchers, billions of years ago other black holes of this size stopped growing rapidly. This black hole contains matter, which is equal to the mass of three Suns. Researchers are trying to figure out why this black hole is different from the others. Lead researcher Dr Christopher Onken said, “Now we want to know why this is different – did something catastrophic happen? Perhaps the two large galaxies crashed into each other, funneling all the material onto the black hole to feed it.” . “
Meanwhile, Kristen Wolf said, “This black hole is so big that you should never say never, I can’t believe we’ll find another one like this. We’ve essentially run out of sky where something like this.” objects may be hidden.” According to another researcher Samuel Lai, this black hole is 500 times larger than the black hole of the Milky Way Galaxy.
