Astronomers Discover Largest Black Hole Ever, Capturing Plasma Beam and Challenging Quasar Theories

Oct 22, 2024, 01:02 PM

Astronomers have discovered the largest black hole ever, dwarfing our entire solar system. This finding adds to a series of recent astronomical observations, including NASA's investigation into the plasma swirling around 12 black holes and the detection of gravitational waves from colliding black holes by NASA's newest telescope. Researchers have also observed bright quasars, massive black holes isolated in the voids of space, challenging the prevailing theory that such quasars could only form in dense regions with nearby matter. Additionally, NASA captured a black hole shooting a plasma beam through space. These discoveries provide new insights into the formation and behavior of black holes and quasars in the universe.
