Scientists found oldest and most distant black hole in universe JWST explore

Black Holes are the biggest center of curiosity for scientists around the world. The American space agency NASA launched the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in the year 2021. This observatory worth Rs 10,000 crore has become a major means for scientists to explore black holes. Now a team of astronomers has discovered the most distant and oldest black hole ever discovered. this information journal nature Has been published in.

Where is the black hole found?

This black hole has been observed in the very old galaxy GN-z11, which is 13.4 billion light years away. This black hole is about 6 million times larger than the Sun and it seems that it is eating the material present in its surrounding galaxies 5 times faster.

According to Space.com report, team leader Roberto Maillino of the Physics Department of Cambridge University has described this discovery as ‘a huge leap’ for black hole science. He said that seeing such a big black hole in the universe is a beginning. We have to think what other reasons could be there for the formation of black holes.

A question also arises whether giant black holes eat the matter around them more rapidly. Scientists have not been able to find the answer to this question yet. In this case, the research team feels that the reason for the rapid feeding of the black hole is its galaxy. Because the black hole is consuming matter very rapidly, this may hinder the development of the galaxy. In the report the black hole has been called a glutton.

The discovery could be a major step forward in understanding how supermassive black holes grew to millions of billions of times the mass of the Sun in the early ages of the universe. Black holes are places in our universe where no law of physics works. There is only gravity and dense darkness. The gravity of black holes is so powerful that even light cannot escape from its effect. Whatever goes inside a black hole cannot come out.
