Scientists have studied the oldest black hole 1300 million light years away from the Earth and they have understood the process of its formation.
Our universe is full of mysteries. There are various mysteries in this world, which scientists are trying to solve. One of them is a mystery black hole (Black Hole) Is also. Scientists have now made a new discovery in this regard. In this discovery, scientists have studied the oldest black hole 1300 million light years away from the Earth and they have understood the process of its formation. It is a quasar that is a glazed black hole. The most important thing is that this quasar The Big Bang (Big Bang) Were formed only after about 100 million years.
A team of astronomers has solved the mystery of how this quasar formed so quickly. The team discovered that the first quasars were formed naturally due to rare gases and turbulent conditions in the universe. Looking back over time through super computer simulations, it was discovered that the formation of quasars was due to the combination of cold and powerful gases. These gases were confined to the stars.
How was the first quasar formed?
Billions of light years ago, there were only a dozen such stars. When they were born, their mass was 1 million times that of our Sun. The black holes observed so far are usually of only 10 to 100 solar masses and form when large stars die. It is estimated that at the beginning of the universe, there were 10 thousand to 10 million solar system stars. But for this a strong ultraviolet background, supersonic flow between gas and dark matter was not normal, which led to the formation of the first quasars.
There were big stars, but died early
Dr. of Portsmouth University. Daniel Whale led the team. “We think of these stars as dinosaurs on Earth,” the team said. “They were very large and huge in size.” But still his life was short. Dr. Daniels went on to say that the discovery was exciting, as it changed the 20-year-old idea of the origin of the first supermassive black hole in the universe.
Today we find supermassive black holes in the centers of the largest galaxies, which may be millions or even billions of times the mass of the Sun. But in 2003 we started looking for quasars in the early universe. Initially no one understood how it happened.
