The discovery confirmed the black hole in the center of the Milky Way

Chinese researchers at Shanghai Observatory claim they have had solid evidence confirming the " undeniable " existence of a giant black hole in the center of our galaxy. , Galaxy.

Astronomer Zhi-Qiang Shen said he had received signals in the form of radio waves emanating from just above the edge of the mysterious body of Sagittarius A in the center of the Milky Way, showing that the object was definitely a hole Super large black has four million times the mass and 200 times the diameter of the sun.

The black hole is one of the most mysterious bodies in the universe, formed from the contraction of matter (such as a star with a mass five times the mass of the sun) and has such a strong gravitational force. any kind of matter, including light, can escape. Therefore, it is often more difficult to find a black hole than to find a needle in the bottom of a tank.

However, scientists say they can still " see " the black hole thanks to high-energy rays in the form of radio waves by atoms when sucked into a black hole that moves and collides with each other at speed. Extremely high creation.
