Ten New Black Holes

The recent news is that ten extremely large black holes have been found with the help of a super telescope. The super telescope is a black hole hunting telescope called NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array). Although they discovered the black holes by accident, it is still a great discovery. The observatory is called the x-ray space observatory. It is an achievement because this discovery shows that there is so much of the galaxy that we do not know about.




















Before the discovery there used to be mysterious sources of light which have now been identified as the light from one of the black holes. NASA uses a cosmic x-ray background so they can identify which thing is what in space. For example, a black hole's color in the cosmic x-ray background is purple. This discovery also proves that the bigger the galaxy, the more black holes.
















This proves, as I said, that there are many other black holes and galaxies. It also proves that the universe is infinite, and it is continuously growing.
