Top 12 Strangest and Most Mysterious Cosmic Revelations
3. Black Holes Ultramassive
Discovery Overview Found Year: 2018 Found By: Université de Montréal Location: 3.5 Billion Light-Years Away from Earth The Nature of Black Holes Nothing, not even light, can escape from a black hole, which has long been considered one of the universe's most terrifying and mysterious forces.
Ultramassive Black Hole Discovery In 2018, a team of astrophysicists from Université de Montréal discovered an "ultramassive" black hole that is ten times larger and significantly more powerful than previously known black holes.
Conclusion This discovery sheds light on the extreme conditions and phenomena associated with black holes, deepening our understanding of the universe's most enigmatic structures.
Supermassive Black Holes
The research team identified "ultramassive" black holes, which are approximately 10 billion times as massive as the Sun, using NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope.
New Insights on Growth Contrary to previous beliefs that black holes evolved in tandem with their galaxies, these "ultramassive" black holes appear to be growing faster than the stars surrounding them.
Conclusion This finding challenges existing theories about black hole formation and growth, offering new insights into the dynamics of the universe and the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies.
