A team of Chinese astronomers discovered a black hole, whose existence was previously considered simply impossible.
This discovery was made by astronomers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Liu Jifeng. Informs the Information Edition “EurekAlert!”.
Discovered black hole (LB-1) is at a distance of 15 thousand light years from our planet. Its mass is approximately equal to 70 sunny.
The existing models of the evolution of stars is not provided the existence of such massive stars. Fact that big stars by the end of their life cycle they should noticeably lose in mass, but LB-1 does not fit into any laws of the universe. Her weight for some reason twice as large as the black hole that arose as a result of the death of a star.
Now scientists plan to revise their “postulates” in regarding the formation of black holes. According to scientists, similar objects can have a weight equal to millions of suns, but this applies black holes that are in the centers of galaxies. These black holes have a slightly different mechanism of education.
Previously, scientists from NASA captured the moment when a huge black hole with its powerful attraction tears to pieces the star approaching her.
