The International Space Agency “NASA” published a video clip on its YouTube channel, showing a glimpse of the shape of the supermassive black holes in the universe.
At the beginning of the video, he watches the sun, after which the camera gradually moves away from it so that the viewer can compare the sizes of black holes with the bodies of the solar system that he knows.
The video also shows a supermassive black hole comparable to the radius of Mercury’s orbit in the constellation Circinus, and a black hole comparable to the radius of Earth’s orbit.
Many other regions of space and time can be seen in the video, but they are all surpassed by the supermassive black hole (TON-618), which has a mass of 66 billion solar masses. It is more than 10 billion light-years away from Earth and does not pose a threat to the planet’s inhabitants, according to the US Space Agency.
In addition, astrophysicist Jeremy Schnittman, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), said: The measurements, many of which were made using the Hubble Space Telescope, confirm the existence of more than 100 supermassive black holes.
