Super Black Hole
A team of astronomers has discovered what may be the most massive black hole ever. This monster is in the center of the galaxy NGC 1277, a small galaxy that is only 10% the size of the Milky Way, which is about 220 million light-years away from Earth.
Some impressive features of the supermassive black hole: - has 17 billion (billion, Brazil) of times more massive than the Sun - have 14% of the total mass of the galaxy (the "normal" is to be 0.1%). - Is 4,000 times greater than the supermassive qinetiq careers black hole at the center of our Galaxy. - The size of it (the "input", the "event horizon") is 11 times larger than the orbit of Neptune qinetiq careers (the planet in our solar system that has a higher orbit). In other words, this black hole could swallow our entire solar system in one gulp.
Already, as a curiosity, this discovery was made from observations with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope at the University of Texas at Austin, and one of the principal investigators of this discovery is Karl Gebhardt of the University of Texas at Austin,
Carlos qinetiq careers F. Oliveira qinetiq careers is an astronomer and science educator. Degree in Business Management. Degree qinetiq careers in Astronomy, Science Fiction and Scientific Communication. PhD in Science Education with a specialization in Astrobiology at the University of Texas. Created and taught for several years an innovative course in astrobiology at the University of Texas. He is currently Research Fellow in Affiliate-Astrobiology Education at the University of Texas at Austin, USA. Worked at the Maryland Science Center, USA, and Astronomy Outreach Project, UK, received two awards of ESA, and held several lectures and interviews in the media.
I believe that is not the event horizon of this super black hole and 11 times greater qinetiq careers than the semi-major axis of the orbit of Neptune, but the diameter of the black hole on the basis of its event horizon.
