The quickest developing black hole at any point recorded — expanding what could be compared to one sun consistently — has been found by a group of global scientists driven by specialists at the Australian Public College (ANU).
The black hole’s mass is roughly 17 billion times that of our solar system’s Sun and exists within the brightest currently known thing being continually powered in the universe.
It exists in a quasar — a swirling storm surrounding an active supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy.
Lead author and ANU associate professor, Christian Wolf, said the black hole was indeed creating matter from its environment, and consuming a lot to do so.
The accretion disk is so massive and dense and hot that it starts glowing brightly, and that’s the light that we see.
It’s a lot of light that comes out of that accretion disk, about 500 trillion times the amount of light that our Sun emits, or about 20,000 times the amount of light that our entire Milky Way galaxy – with all its billions of stars – emits.
