The giant black hole was first measured

For the first time, scientists have identified the contours of a supernatural black hole and calculated the size of the supernatural.

Each black hole has a border called ' event horizon' . Anything that falls into this horizon - whether it's gas, gas or even light - can never escape.

'Once objects have fallen into the event horizon, they will disappear forever , ' said Shep Doelman of the Haystack Observatory at the Massachussettes Institute of Technology (MIT). 'It's like an emergency door to step out of our universe. You step through that door and can never return. '

The black hole is at the center of the galaxy M87

Although the event horizon is just an imaginary line that cannot be observed with the eyes, astronomers still try to imagine the horizon of a giant black hole at the center of a distant galaxy. They also tried to measure the nearest stable trajectory that matter could spin around this black hole and not be swallowed up - for the first time in astronomy history. This finding has just been published in the journal Science.

The focal black hole of the study belongs to the galaxy M87, about 50 million light-years from our Milky Way galaxy. This black hole is considered huge because it has a mass equivalent to 6 million suns.

Using 'Event Horizon Telescope' , a new telescope , astronomers have identified the most feasible trajectory so that matter can move around a black hole approximately 5.5 times the size of the horizon. to sue. According to Science, this trajectory will be five times the solar system, or 750 times the distance from the Earth to the sun (approximately 150 million kilometers from Earth to the sun).

In addition, the researchers have enough evidence to confirm that the black hole is the source of the intense rays emitted from the galaxy M87, which telescopes have not yet been strong enough to authenticate.
