Black holes are substances that can suck up different things. Things that are huge like stars. If a black hole that is violent is ever found near us, we will be in grave danger. Luckily, the black hole in this essay is subtle and calm.
Astronomers from the Academy of Sciences in Czech discovered a massive blackhole 1000 lightyears away from earth. Since blackholes suck up things, this can be a major problem, but we are lucky that this is a docile one. This blackhole is the closest blackhole visible to the naked eye, from a telescope, ever to be recorded in history. According to the team, they are very surprised to find the closest black hole to be found. The team originally looked after double-star systems and were stunned when they found a third.
This blackhole is also the first one to appear very subtle which makes it appear fully black. But the team could not study the weight of it by studying about the star in the inner pair. Astronomers have discovered other black holes that have been violent and make their presence obvious through the scientists’ X-rays. By studying more about them, we could learn more about how they are formed and how they weight more than 8 times the mass of the sun.
Discoveries about the triple star systems could help astronomers find clues about how black holes can detect Earth by releasing powerful waves. Some astronomers believe that the they can happen in systems with a similar layout to other discoveries.
Discovering about the black hole can lead us to more complex discoveries that can help us know more about the galaxy. If we ever get to make an invention that can see what is inside a black hole, we can also discover about the stars that have been sucked up and learn about them.
