Scientists have discovered the fastest-growing black hole and it eats the equivalent of 1 Earth every passing second.
The discovery happened after scientists spotted an extremely bright quasar. That’s a luminous object powered by a supermassive black hole – like the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. They made the discovery using the SkyMapper Southern Sky Survey, a 1.3-meter telescope found in New South Wales.
As such, we don’t really need to worry about it just yet. And chances are we never will because of how far away it is.A star being sucked up by a nearby black hole. Image source: European Southern Observatory
