Astronomers Find New Black Hole

The observations made through infra says supernova, dubbed SN 1979C is a black hole is formed, said a team of astronomers from the United States and Europe.

          "If our assumptions are correct, it is the closest example for observation of the creation of a black hole," said an expert from the Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysics Center in Massachusetts, Daniel Patnaude, who led the study.

An amateur astronomer from Maryland, Gus Johnson, found a supernova in 1979 on the edge of a galaxy called M100, and other astronomers examine it after its discovery. Light and infrared rays from the fragments has occupied him for 50 million years to get to the earth at the speed of light of 300,000 kilometers per second, or about 10 trillion miles per year.

          Infra ray Center Chandra's observations of NASA, the European Space Agency XMM-Newton, and the German Rosat Observation Center has witnessed that it emits a stable source of infrared light.

          Infrared analysis supports the idea that the observed object is a black hole and it will also draw in the object that fell from a supernova, or possibly from the twin stars, astronomers said.

          Scientists believe that black holes can be created through several means which in this case because a star which is about 20 times the mass of the Sun that will become a supernova and then exploded into a solid object that sucks the objects around him into a black hole's core .
