August 20, 2013 NASA’s powerful telescope NuSTAR recorded 10 giant black holes lurking in the hearts of distant galaxies. Optical color photographs clearly show how methodically and quickly these monsters devour other star systems. Scientists X-ray space observatory said this is the first large, but by no means the last find made with telescope NuSTAR. This unique discovery happened by happy accidents, because the images were not taken by astronomers search for black holes, and in order to check the quality of images nuclear spectroscopic telescopes. “My colleagues and I examined the pictures, comparing their quality, and unexpectedly for found themselves on the background images in clusters of galaxies 10 black holes, “said Alexander David, a professor of physical Faculty of Durham University. To confirm your assumptions, scientists sent a request to NASA and to the European space agency. Using a satellite that can fix low frequency light and nuclear spectroscopic NuSTAR telescope specifically designed for black hunting holes, the assumption of scientists was confirmed. According to NASA, for the first time astronomers have discovered the glow of x-rays in the background of the universe in 1962, but then they did not know the nature of these strange glows. Today, scientists know for sure that the glow (also called cosmic x-ray background) occurs as a result of the destructive activities of the very distant supermassive blacks holes, some of which reach mass, 17 billion times exceeding the mass of our sun. Thanks to modern technology scientists will finally be able to start a thorough exploring these huge black monsters, and most importantly finding out – due to what exactly are the formation of this mysterious cosmic phenomenon. “Our first results showed that more distant supermassive black holes are located in galaxies, according to much larger than ours, “said Daniel Stern, co-author Research and Researcher Jet Propulsion Program NASA “Although this was to be expected, since telescopes record the development of our universe that has taken place billions of years back when she was significantly younger and therefore galaxies more often collided, then merged, continuing grow. “Scientists are sure that they discovered 10 giant blacks holes – only the beginning of the discoveries that await the world in the near the future. They believe that any recorded education in deep space will help much better help to understand and study the nature of this mysterious phenomenon. Today the only thing scientists are sure of is that speed black hole rotation is very close to the speed of light.
