Stunned 'cosmic monster' by 50,000 times the Sun

The aggressive monster black hole discovered by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope may be the missing link in the evolution of the universe.

This new "monster" black hole is about 50,000 times the mass of the Sun, 740 million light-years away and unreasonably exists. Previously, astronomical theories had been shown that in addition to the galactic center black holes, black holes were the result of the final collapse when a star died. However, given the incredible size and mass of the newly discovered object, no star in the universe could be large enough to "transform" into it!

Combining data from ground observatories, the research team from the University of New Hampshire (Durham, UK) and the University of Toulouse (France) specifically analyzed the black hole and identified it as a mass black hole. intermediaries (IBMH).

IBMH is not as big as Sagittarus A * - the center of the galaxy containing the Milky Way - or other galactic center black holes; but much larger than the common, common black hole seen in galaxies. It is also in the form of "monster" black holes, which are super-massive, super-massive black holes, but not the greatest monsters.

IBMH is rarely seen . The team thinks it is the missing link in the evolution from the universe. As analyzed above, it cannot be a collapse star but a city with almost no origin, formed from nothing! This also supports a new theory that has been proposed by several previous studies: ancient black holes existed in the universe before the first stars.

What is also special is that when Hubble caught, this black hole is showing its "monster" nature: tearing a giant star. That's the way they exist because IBMH black holes don't have the source of the fuel to glow.

The article published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters also said that what helped them find this "monster" black hole is a mysterious source of X-rays captured from Earth, named 3XMM J215022.4-05518. . This X-ray can be emitted when a black hole is devouring a star, creating powerful energy.
