Scientists around the world always keep an eye on the black holes present in space. Now scientists have discovered a new ‘sleeping giant’ black hole in the galaxy. It is considered to be the largest black hole discovered in the galaxy. Today we will tell you where this black hole is present and how huge it is. Because the size of the black hole is the most important fact for the scientists. This massive black hole has been detected in the Aquila constellation at a distance of less than a light year. Apart from this, it is about 33 times larger than the mass of our Sun. For the first time, such a large black hole of stellar origin has been discovered in the galaxy. According to the information, after detecting an unusual wobble in space, astronomers have seen this black hole in the Milky Way galaxy. This type of black holes have been discovered only in very distant galaxies. According to CNN’s report, the European Space Agency has said that most of the stellar-mass ones discovered by scientists are Black holes are sucking matter from nearby stars. This matter falls into the black hole at such a high speed that it gets heated and releases X-ray radiation. This black hall has been named Gaia BH3. Being located 1,926 light years away in the constellation, it becomes the second closest known black hole to Earth. The closest black hole to Earth is Gaia BH1, which is located 1,500 light years away and has a mass 10 times that of the Sun.
How it was discovered
< p>Let us tell you that sometimes there is no star near the black hole. This means that they do not produce any light, making them extremely difficult to identify. Astronomers find these black holes "dormant" They say. While searching for such stars, researchers have discovered an old giant star in the Aquila constellation. They analyzed the wobbles in its path in detail and found that it was locked in an orbital motion with a dormant black hole of exceptionally high mass. Not only this, it is the third inactive black hole discovered using the space agency’s Gaia space observatory and has been named Gaia BH3.
Size of the black hole< /p>
Let us tell you that black holes can be big or small. Scientists believe that the smallest black holes are only as small as one atom and the largest black holes are much smaller. But their mass is like a big mountain. Whereas the black hole is called stellar and its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the Sun. Earth’s galaxy may contain black holes with multiple stellar masses. The largest black hole is called supermassive. The mass of these black holes together is equal to more than 1 million suns.
