The birth of a black hole was first observed

Astronomers have for the first time observed the formation of a black hole when tracking a supernova located 50 million light-years from Earth for a long time.

Astronomers claim that light from a supernova seen by an amateur astronomer in 1979 could be obscured by a black hole forming after the " collapse " of a major star.

According to the source, modern devices, including NASA's Chandra X-ray observation tower, have watched a supernova located 50 million light-years from Earth for a long time.

The observed results provide scientists with evidence of a black hole behind the light emitted from this explosion.

The Independent of Britain on November 18 said data from various observations helped astronomers detect X-rays emitted by supernova explosions between 1995 and year. 2007. Based on these data, astronomers have determined that there is a black hole inside the supernova that is sucking in the material.

Daniel Patnaude of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge said: ' If our explanations are correct, this is the closest example of the birth of a black hole observed .'

Scientists believe that this is how the supernovae are most typical of these supernovae and also explain why this discovery is so interesting. Abraham Loeb of Harvard Center said: ' This may be the first time the formation of a black hole can be observed. However, it is difficult to test the formation of a black hole because it takes decades to observe X-rays enough to make accurate conclusions '.
