Discovered a super black hole record at 200 million light years from Earth: its mass is over 17 billion times that of the Sun and its presence is considered a sign of how similar cosmic monsters could be much more common than you might imagine. Published in the journal Nature, the result is due to the group led by the University of California at Berkeley. The current record is held by the black hole mass of 21 billion Suns discovered in 2011 in the cluster of Coma, who has earned a place of honor in the Book of Guinness. Until now it was believed that blacks holes of this size were ‘settled’ in the heart of the largest galaxies in the very “crowded areas of the universe,” but the new black hole contradicts this hypothesis. It is located in the galaxy NGC 1600, located at the opposite end of the sky than the Coma and storage in a relatively deserted area, he noted lead researcher, Chung-Pei Ma. As part of the project has been identified Massive research, whose goal is to study large galaxies and blacks holes to rebuild their growth process. The question that naturally arises is whether the researchers have found a black hole in a sparsely populated area of the universe can not be the tip of the iceberg. Chung-Pei Ma does not rule out that the “cosmic monsters” may be much more numerous than expected and also scattered in the less populated areas of the universe.
