Gigantic black hole discovered a team of scientists from China, the United States, Chile and Australia. The object has a mass of 12 billion times greater than the sun. Designated as the SDSS J010013.02 + 280225.8. It is the largest black hole discovered in history.
Observed in a little romantic how a black hole is a record holder of discovered so far. SDSS J010013.02 + 280225.8 “weigh” as much as 12 billion solar masses. It was created at a time when the universe was less than 1 billion years – gives service Space.com. The gigantic black holes are at the heart of most galaxies. The biggest so far discovered have a mass of 10 billion greater than the mass of the sun. Extremely little entertainment presented in the statement of the black hole in the center of the Milky Way, which is larger than the mass of the sun “only” about 4 million times.
In addition to the great mass of the black hole has discovered a unique “brightness”. Of course, not in itself, because black holes, as the name implies, do not let even visible light. As for the so-called. accretion disk, which is a rotating structure consisting of gas and dust, which affects the gravitational pull. Thanks to SDSS J010013.02 + 280225.8 is 429 trillion times “brighter” than the sun.
discovered black hole is a kind of window into the past. Visible light from distant objects as needed to reach the Earth billions of years, so J0100 + 2802 (abbreviated because it refers to a building) provides scientists with an image of the “young” of the universe.

Black holes are the result of core collapse of massive stars to the cold and the smallest volume. You can not see what is happening inside them because they do not transmit light. They can be seen when present in a binary system with the star. Then you can “see” how the gravitational field of the black hole consumes matter neighboring building.
