Cosmologists find a stellar black hole so huge it shouldn’t exist
Because there's an image of a black hole doesn't mean astronomers have made sense of how they work. Chinese-led scientists have recognized a stellar black hole in the Milky Way with a mass so enormous that it breaks current stellar evolution models. LB-1, a black hole 15,000 light-years away, has mass 70 times more noteworthy than that of the Sun - past estimates proposed that no stellar black hole would have in excess of 20 times the Sun's mass. Researchers anticipated that many dying stars should shed the majority of their gas, making something this enormous incomprehensible without readjusting theories.
The group utilized China's Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) to discover stars orbiting objects that are apparently undetectable - a system that had...
