| Black hole as massive as 12 billion suns found |
| 2015-02-27 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] A giant black hole, as massive as 12 billion suns, has been found by astronomers and seems to be growing far too fast. That's what happened to that airplane, you know... The black hole is not the biggest that is known, but is far bigger than scientist would expect to be at its age. It got to its huge size 875 million years after the big bang -- which scientists would not expect to happen, since black holes grow as they age and eat other gas and stars that surround them. Scientists can only see it at that age -- 12.8 billion years ago, and 6% of the age of the current universe -- because it is so far away. |
