The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronauts recently discovered evidence of a “rapidly developing black hole,” which has long been regarded as a “missing link” in our understanding of the early cosmos. Astronauts discovered the “monster” body roughly 750 million years after the Big Bang using data from the Hubble space telescope.
“Until today, the monster, dubbed GNz7q, had been lurking unseen in one of the best-studied sections of the night sky, the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-North (GOODS-North) field,” the US space agency revealed.
“GNz7q is a recently generated black hole, according to the team’s findings. Hubble discovered an ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light source that was compact. This could not be due to galaxies emitting light, but it is compatible with the radiation that would be expected from materials falling into a black hole “NASA went on to say more.
Furthermore, according to astronauts, rapidly-growing black holes in dusty, early star-forming galaxies had not been observed until now, despite theories and computer simulations. According to the latest analysis, GNz7q is the first example of a rapidly growing black hole in the dusty core of a starburst galaxy at an epoch close to the earliest supermassive black hole known in the universe, according to Seiji Fujimoto, an astronomer at the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen.
According to NASA, supermassive black holes begin their lives in the dusty cores of vigorously star-forming “starburst” galaxies before expelling the surrounding gas and dust and emerging as extremely luminous quasars, which are basically extremely bright objects in the universe said to be powered by black holes.
Both dusty starburst galaxies and brilliant quasars have been discovered in the early cosmos, according to astronauts, despite their rarity. As a result, the team believes that the GNz7q could represent a “missing link” between the two groups of objects, as it contains both dusty starburst galaxy and quasar characteristics.
It’s worth mentioning that this fresh discovery opens up a new window into the rapid evolution of supermassive black holes in the early universe. As a result, NASA astronauts believe that the latest discovery is a precursor to the supermassive black holes that they will see in future epochs.
“The team now plans to use dedicated high-resolution surveys and the NASA James Webb Space Telescope’s spectroscopic equipment to explore objects such as GNz7q in unprecedented detail,” NASA added.
