In the past 9 billion years, the fastest black hole has appeared, and the quality is 3 billion times the sun

A international team led by researchers at the National University of Australia has discovered the fastest black hole in the past 9 billion years. The latest research has been published on the pre -printed website Arxiv and submitted to the Australian Astronomical Society.

This black hole consumes the energy of a earth every second. Its brightness is 7,000 times that of all light brightness of the Milky Way, which makes it easier for scientists to observe it with the help of telescope. Dr. Christopher Angken and his colleagues of the chief researcher described it as "removing unexpected big needles in the sea".

Angken said: "For more than 50 years, astronomers have been looking for such celestial bodies. People have discovered thousands of darker celestial bodies, but this amazing celestial body has gone away unknowingly."

The quality of this black hole is 3 billion times the quality of the sun, and other black holes of similar scale have stopped so rapidly by billions of years ago. Angken said: "Now we want to know why this black hole is different and disaster? Maybe the two big galaxies collide with each other and inject a large amount of material into black holes to feed it."

Associate Professor Christian Wolf said: "This black hole is very unique, we may not find another such black hole. This black hole is 500 times larger than the large quality black hole in the center of the Milky Way."

The "Skymapper" telescope at the National University of Australia observed this black hole. The "Star Map Home" telescope is committed to finding the oldest stars and galaxies, and has already gained a lot.
