NuSTAR telescope discovered 10 new black superholes
As we did not know, more than a year ago, on June 13, 2012, NASA successfully launched a nuclear spectrophotometer (NuSTAR) to orbit the earth. The purpose of the NuSTAR Telescope Program is to study energy-rich phenomena in the universe, including galactic clusters, black holes, and giant star explosions.

After a period of operation, this nuclear spectrophotometer has recently yielded a surprising result. It not only found a black hole, but 10 black holes in the center of distant galaxies. Professor David Alexander, a professor of physics at Durham University, said: 'We are focusing on goals that are known in the image and suddenly realize the signs of many other black holes.' Shortly thereafter the team determined analysis and reconfirmed with NASA's X-ray research agency.
During operation on Earth orbit, the NuSTAR telescope works in conjunction with other telescopes operating in the universe, including NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory glass - tracking X-rays with lower energy intensity. These newly discovered black holes are all supermassive black holes and are completely surrounded by galaxies.
The supermassive black hole is a black hole of about 105 to 1,8,1010 solar masses. Most galaxies, including the Milky Way, contain in their nucleus a supermassive black hole. Compared to small black holes, supermassive black holes have a smaller density, even smaller than air density. The black hole radius is directly proportional to its mass.
The black hole is a spherical object that is limited by the event horizon (The event horizon is the inner boundary of space-time near a singularity, all kinds of matter if it falls below this limit including electromagnetic waves / light cannot go beyond the observer), its volume is directly proportional to the three power radii. Therefore, when the mass increases, the density of the black hole decreases. The super-mass black hole tidal force in the vicinity of the event horizon is much smaller than the smaller black holes. The observer on the horizon of the event will be farther away from the singularity than the light black hole, so the tidal force will be smaller. Super mass black holes affect surrounding objects.
Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory expect, to have basic parameters (such as mass .) of these newly discovered supermassive black holes, through combining them with research from Spitzer space telescope and WISE probe.
