The Scientists Have Discvored A Black Hole LB-1
The scientists have discvored a new black hole named LB-1
The discovery of black holes has surprised many physicists and scientists. The theory that has existed for years was proved much later, which amazed everyone at the vastness of the universe.
Now, scientists have discovered a massive state-of-the-art black hole, scientists believe that this black hole does not exist in our galaxy. According to the journal Nature, this black hole has been called LB-1 which is 70 times larger than our Sun and 15000 light years away from us.
The research was led by Liu Jifeng, a National Astronomical Observatory of China professor, and his team. Now, one of the team members, Professor Roberto Soria, an Honorary Associate at the Sydney Institute for Astronomy and School of Physics at the University of Sydney, has explained in detail about the formation of this phenomenon.
The professor revealed that the team surveyed the sky with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), based in north-east China. The first major result for their research at LAMOST is LB-1, a huge black hole in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Scientists also studied the faint glow emanating from the hydrogen gas around the black hole. Although the formation of a black hole can cause many problems, this scientific team has presented two major arguments.
- As mentioned in his report, Soria explained that two smaller black holes may have formed independently from two stars and then merged to make a single black hole.
- Another possibility is that a single “ordinary” stellar black hole would swallow most of the host star like a wasp larva inside a caterpillar, to become a huge one.
