Hello Steemians!! Today I bring my new post on SAGITARIUS A : SUPER-MASSIVE BLACK HOLE BIGGER THAN SUN. Please go through it to know more about it.
Today I am back with really interesting news this week. Today we talk about Black Holes. If you don't know a Black Holes is a phenomenon in Space where a lot of matter is squeezed into a tiny Space and where Gravity is so strong that light can't even get out and that is why well we can't really see them. Now Black Holes can be big or small. But according to a study published in Nature Astronomy scientists led by Toma Haru Oka from Keio University in Japan believed they have discovered a Massive Black Hole about a hundred thousand times the size of our Sun near the centre of the Milky Way and supposedly is hidden within a huge cloud of Molecular Gas and researchers believed that it could be an intermediate Mass Black Hole MBH which is the missing link in the development of Supermassive Black Holes.
Of course evidence of IMBH has never been found which would make this discovery pretty remarkable. Now according to the report scientists found a very strange-looking Molecular Cloud in the middle of the Milky Way and the cloud showcased a wide range of movements never seen before and these properties could be explained by a gravitational kick caused by an invisible compact object with a mass about a hundred Solar Masses. Then using some models and simulations that researchers think it could be an IMBH and if that turns out to be true it would be the Second biggest one in the Milky Way with the largest being Sagittarius A and as researchers continue to study the clouds. Radio Waves were found that resembled Sagittarius A.
The similarities could indicate the existence of a Midsize Black Hole. Astronomers believe that the Black Holes could have formed after a former core of a Dwarf Galaxy was absorbed by the Milky Way and if this discovery is confirmed it would support the theory that Galaxies grow by sort of cannibalizing their smaller neighbors. According to the study it is widely accepted that Black Holes with masses greater than a Million Solar Masses lurk at the centres of Massive Galaxies. The origins of such Supermassive Black Holes remain unknown. Theoretical studies have predicted that 100 Million to 1 Billion Black Holes should exist in the Milky Way. Although only 60 or so have been identified through observations so far. Basically, if the study is confirmed and astronomers did indeed find in IMBH, it would help us immensely in our understanding of Supermassive Black Holes. If there are not just 100,000 but sometimes bigger than the Sun and Black Holes are really interesting because we we really don't know much about them but one thing we do know is that well it makes Time Travel possible. Anyways keep you guys updated on this story!!
