NASA defines a black hole as a region in space where a certain amount of matter collapses into itself. The high gravity in this region does not allow anything, including light, to escape. Finally, astronomers stated that there may be a black hole wandering alone in the Milky Way .
Recently discovered black hole, 500 times larger
Scientists said they have found a black hole big enough to fit behind the horizon of the entire Solar system. They also noted that the halo of light around the hole is 7,000 times brighter than the light of the Milky Way Galaxy.
According to researchers from the Australian National University , the black hole is taking huge bites from the universe. Two astronomical research teams used Hubble Space Telescope data to find what lies like a hole in our galaxy. The study’s principal investigator, Dr. Christopher Onken made a statement on the subject.
Humans have been trying to make such discoveries for about 60 years, but this black hole may not have gone unnoticed, most likely because it’s so close to the Milky Way. Because there are so many stars in the Milky Way that it is not easy to follow all the substances you have detected.
This discovery is important in many ways. The discovery will allow researchers to determine how many of these objects there may be in our galaxy, and how far away they may be. The latest discovery is 500 times larger than the hole in the center of the Milky Way, called Sagittarius A* . Also, at 26,000 light-years from Earth, Sagittarius A* has almost 4 million times the mass of the Sun.
Astronomers estimate that there may be 100 million black holes in our galaxy, based on the Milky Way’s 100 billion stars. Black holes can be created by the explosion of some massive stars. As a result, some holes reach millions of times the weight of the Sun.
There is no clear information about exactly how these holes in the center of galaxies were formed. However, scientists state that these discoveries will be very helpful for the future of the planet.
