Agence France-Presse reported from Paris, France, on January 19 that a study published by the journal Nature indicates that the black hole invaded its galaxy only 430 million years after the birth of the universe, in a period known as the “dawn of the universe.”
Mr. Jan Schulz, an astronomer from the University of Cambridge, said that this makes the black hole 200 million years older than any other large black hole ever discovered, and it is also 1.6 million times more massive than the sun in our solar system.
“The fact that it had time to expand so quickly after the Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago will provide new information about the universe,” Schulz added. “It is a next-generation theoretical model that aims to explain what creates black holes.”
Such black holes are not as visible as other black holes, but can be detected by large bursts of light generated by absorption by nearby matter. This light allows the Hubble Space Telescope to see galaxies. “GN-Z11” (GN-z11) in 2016 in the direction of the Ursa Major constellation.
However, the James Webb Telescope has shown that it will overtake Hubble in 2022, making more discoveries that scientists will have to keep up with. In addition to the black hole at the center of the galaxy GN-Z11, the James Webb Telescope has also discovered several galaxies. Which was bigger than expected
As for Mr. Stephane Charlotte, an astrophysicist from the French Institute of Astrophysics in Paris (IAP), he points out that black holes in the early universe may have formed in different ways than nearby black holes. Webb and other future telescopes, such as the Euclidean telescope of the European Space Agency (ESA), will discover. More of these black holes. In the early days of the universe.
