6 Galaxies Trapped In The Web Of An Ancient Supermassive Black Hole
A very giant web of a giant supermassive black hole that has been feeding on the gas of six galaxies has been observed by astronomers using ESO’s Very large telescope. We believe these galaxies to have been trapped in the spider like web of this giant super-massive black hole. The finding helps to better understand how supermassive black holes, one of which exists at the centre of our Milky Way, formed and grew to their enormous sizes so quickly. It also supports the theory that black holes can grow rapidly within large, web-like structures which contain plenty of gas to fuel them, according to the astronomers.So how is it possible? IS it because of Dark matter! Or any other phenomenon!! Let’s find out.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe for more videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/InsaneCuriosity?sub_confirmation=1?

They’re extremely dense, with such strong gravitational attraction that even light cannot escape their grasp if it comes near enough. Albert Einstein first predicted the existence of black holes in 1916, with his general theory of relativity. The term “black hole” was coined many years later in 1967 by American astronomer John Wheeler. After decades of black holes being known only as theoretical objects, the first physical black hole ever discovered was spotted in 1971. Since then, black holes have been a centre of attraction and research for many astronomers. A black hole is formed when the centre of a very massive star collapses in upon itself. This collapse also causes a supernova, or an exploding star, that blasts part of the star into space. Have you ever wondered if light can’t escape a black hole, how can we see black holes? Well, we don’t see a black hole, we observe the presence of a black hole by its effect on its surrounding. They are very hard to detect in our own galaxy. Then, In 2019 the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration released the first image ever recorded of a black hole. The EHT saw the black hole in the centre of galaxy M87 while the telescope was examining the event horizon, or the area past which nothing can escape from a black hole. The image maps the sudden loss of photons (particles of light). It also opens up a whole new area of research in black holes, now that astronomers know what a black hole looks like. Black holes are strange and hard to study. There are a good deal of strange once that exist in our universe and have been observed by the scientists. We already have made a video on these strangest black holes of the universe and also about the first photograph of a black hole. We will leave their link in the description below.  Supermassive black holes are one of the most challenging astronomical objects in the universe. Not much is known about them except that they are very huge and are present at the centre of every galaxy. Supermassive black holes are extreme systems, and, to date, we have had no good explanation for their existence. Scientist know little about them. Their formation and especially their formation in the early universe is a very intriguing question that scientists look to answer. “Our work has placed an important piece in the largely incomplete puzzle that is the formation and growth of such extreme, yet relatively abundant, objects so quickly after the Big Bang,” said Roberto Gilli, and astronomer at INAF in Bologna. It is thought the first black holes, believed to have formed from the collapse of the first stars, must have grown very fast to reach a billion solar masses within the first 900 million years of the Universe’s life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If You happen to see any content that is yours, and we didn't give credit in the right manner please let us know at Lorenzovareseaziendale@gmail.com and we will correct it immediately" "Some of our visual content is under an Attribution-ShareAlike license.
