Astronomers Uncover Massive Celestial Entity
Discovery of Giant Black Hole: Astronomical experts have revealed that they have discovered the largest black hole to date.
According to reports from international media, research published in the journal Nature Astronomy states that astronomers have discovered the largest black hole yet in space with the help of a very large telescope.
According to experts, this black hole, which possesses extraordinary power, has been named J0529-4351 and is 17 billion times larger than our sun.
This black hole is essentially the central part of a galaxy, referred to in astronomy as an 'Active Galactic Nucleus' (AGN).
Researchers describe this extremely massive black hole as consuming material equivalent to our sun daily.
According to researchers, the existence of this black hole was identified years ago, but its details have only recently emerged after a comprehensive study.
Researcher Chrischen Wolfe from the Australian National University explains that extraordinary absorption by any black hole results in things breaking apart and thus generates extraordinary brightness. It took 12 billion years for the light from J0529-435 to reach us.
The diameter of this black hole is 7 light-years, with the emitted light being 500 billion times more than that emitted by our sun.
Experts say that the temperature of J0529-435 is more than 10,000 degrees Celsius, and the speed of the winds within its sphere is such that they could make a full rotation of the Earth in just one second.
