Kathmandu. Astronomers have discovered for the first time the rare sight of two supermassive black holes orbiting each other. This discovery has opened a new door to understanding the mysteries of the universe.
For the first time, scientists have captured a direct picture of two massive black holes orbiting each other. This landmark discovery is expected to turn the understanding of the origin of the universe in a new direction. This view was seen on the quasar OJ-287, which is about 5 billion light-years away from Earth. One large black hole is about 18 billion times the mass of the Sun, while the other is about 150 million times heavier.
This research was done in collaboration with Russia’s Radioastron satellite and many of the world’s largest radio telescopes. By combining Earth and space telescopes in the same way, scientists have been able to capture seemingly impossible details. The images show a ripple of light and matter as the two black holes revolve around each other.
According to astronomers, the orbit period of this system is about 12 years. The combination has allowed scientists to test the theory of gravitation, particularly Einstein’s theory of general relativity, under extreme conditions.
Black holes are the most mysterious and powerful objects in the universe. They also attract light, due to which they are not visible. However, this time, the new technology has been able to produce a very high resolution picture. Which separates two different black holes.
Scientific Perspectives and Significance for the Earth
The study of black holes is not only an attempt to understand the universe, but it is also important for the Earth and human civilization.
- Helping to understand the theory of gravity and the universe Studying such extreme conditions allows scientists to understand how gravity and the behavior of matter change.
- Development of new technologies: The telescopes, image processing, and communication technologies developed in the course of such research will also make great contributions to medicine, communications, and environmental studies on Earth.
- To understand the history of the universe: The study of the vibrations (gravitational waves) produced by the meeting of two black holes gives information about the origin of galaxies and planets.
Scientists have clarified that black holes are not a threat to the Earth. Because they are so far away from Earth, they do not have a direct impact on our lives. Rather, his studies help us to understand the connection between the earth and the universe.
The first direct image of two black holes is not just a scientific breakthrough but a new chapter in human knowledge. It has not only expanded the frontiers of science, but has also connected the scientific community of the world in a common purpose. This discovery is a historic milestone in the journey to understand Earth’s life and future.
