Blackhole

Astronomers all over the world were astounded early this year by a strange and extraordinarily bright flash of light that originated halfway across the universe.

Major Findings:

Now that the powerful beam's origin has been discovered, it is pointed directly at Earth by a supermassive black hole that is consuming a star.
The light jet was 1,000 trillion times brighter than the sun.
Researchers from several institutions, including one from India, worked together to track the activity caused by the black hole, which is located 8.5 billion light-years from Earth.

Regarding Black Holes:

In a black hole, the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape.
Because the substance is compressed into such a small area, the gravity is extremely intense. When a star is dying, this may take place.

How Black Holes Develop:

The smallest black holes, according to scientists, are those that originated at the Big Bang.
Stellar black holes are created when the core of a massive star collapses or collapses in on itself. When this occurs, a supernova results. A supernova is a star that explodes and sends a portion of the star into space.
Supermassive black holes are believed by scientists to have formed simultaneously with the galaxy they are in.

Visibility:

They are invisible because no light can pass through them.
Specialized space telescopes can aid in the discovery of black holes.
In fact, the gases circulating about aid in producing their appearances.

Size:

Black holes can vary in size.

The smallest black holes, according to scientists, are as small as a single atom, relatively small but possess the bulk of a big mountain.
The mass of a "stellar" black hole, which is a different type, may be up to 20 times greater than the mass of the sun.
Supermassive black holes are the biggest and have combined masses more than one million suns.
Sagittarius A is the name of the supermassive black hole in the centre of the Milky Way galaxy.
It would fit inside an extremely huge ball that could accommodate a few million Earths and has a mass equivalent to around 4 million suns.
