The majority of galaxies known in our universe that can be observed contain supermasi -black holes in its center. Each supermasi -black hole can be in various countries ranging from inactive to hyperactive. Inactive black holes are one that does not party with hunger about the problems that surround it and are identified by the low number of X-rays emitted. Now, scientists claim to have seen the first black hole in the backyard of the earth itself.
An International Scientist Team claimed to have found the first “inactive” black mass hole that was clearly detected outside our galaxy. ” Located in the Galaxy of the Large Magellan clouds (the cosmic neighbor of our own magician), a giant who is sleeping about nine times the mass of our sun. It is said to orbit a blue star which is a mass about 25 times the sun.
Named VFTS 243, the black hole in question was found using a very large telescope (VLT) in the southern observatory of Europe and originated from research that included six years of observation of Nebula Tarantula. Interestingly, the discovery of the latest black hole came belonging to a team that had collected a reputation to destroy and denied the claim of the discovery of questionable black holes.

But there is something more happening here. A black hole is scientifically known as the rest of the big star that collapses in itself because of a strong gravitational pull, a process that involves a large explosion that we know as a supernova. However, a star from VFTS 243 Black Hole seems to have collapsed without a trace of the explosion.
The team behind the discovery has not found material evidence issued or a black hole kick that can make an explosion scenario. This is an interesting finding because the VFTS 243 challenges the theory of the formation of a supermase black hole after the star explosion. “Evidence for the ‘Direct Collapse’ scenario has emerged recently, but our research is arguably one of the most direct indications,” said research leader Tomer Senar.
Research Paper (PDF), which has been published in Nature Astronomy, shows that this is the “first binary x-ray reported outside the Milky Way, and, considering uncertainty about galaxy candidates, which has the potential to be the first first x-ray binary O+bh Silence that was found. “Here, o refer to the O -type star while BH refers to his black hole colleagues.
