Information Technology Desk: NASA researchers say that a giant black hole has given birth to a string of stars twice as long as the Milky Way during its journey through space. which has never been seen before.
With the help of the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers suddenly saw it. The details of which were published in a paper in the Astrophysical Journal Letters on April 6. The news is from CTV News.
Researchers say that the newly born star array is 200,000 light-years across. When the black hole was traveling, it weighed as much as 20 million suns. And it traveled so fast that it took only 14 minutes to go from Earth to the Moon.
“What we see is a stream of gas behind the black hole that is cooling and giving birth to stars,” said Ter van Bokkum of Yale University. What we are seeing is the result. Just as water flows behind a boat, gas flows behind a black hole.
Van Bokkum also said that this black hole was discovered purely by accident. I was just looking at the Hubble picture, and it suddenly caught my eye. This has not been seen before.
It should be noted that such a black hole was known for the first time. NASA says there may be more.
