A team of scientists finds the brightest black hole and the most hungry As far as ever found Because it is 500 trillion times as bright as the sun, it consumes the same amount of material as the sun every day. It is called a black hole J0529-4351.

A team of scientists reports the discovery of the brightest black hole ever found in the universe in the journal Nature Astronomy, stating that black hole J0529-4351 is a hungry, voracious black hole, the type that consumes matter, stars, gas, and dust in an amount equivalent to One sun a day, every day.

Black hole J0529-4351 is 12 billion light-years from our planet and has a mass approximately more than our sun. 17,000-19,000 million times. Every year, the black hole consumes or absorbs matter, gas, and dust in an amount equivalent to the mass of 370 suns, making black hole J0529-4351 500 trillion times more luminous than our sun.

Christian Wolf, astronomer at the Australian National University and the leader of the team that discovered this black hole said, “We have found the fastest growing black hole known until now.” It has a mass equivalent to 17 billion suns and consumes about one sun’s worth of material every day, making it the brightest interstellar object known in the universe.

Astronomers discovered the black hole J0529-4351 44 years ago, but it was so bright that astronomers were unable to identify it as a quasar, or a group of extremely bright objects in space. and is very far from the world Contains a supermassive black hole Surrounded by a cloud of gas that orbits around.

For new discoveries by astronomers To be able to identify it as black hole J0529-4351, astronomers used the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile.
