Black holes many times larger than imagined

 

The time has come for astronauts to change the scope of their expectations about black holes. According to the New York Times, a team of international researchers has come to the conclusion that the size of one of the first black hole inventions, Seasonus X-1, is actually much larger than it is thought.

The binary system-based black hole was previously thought to have only 15 solar masses, but is now believed to be 21 solar masses.

While this may not seem very important compared to the supermassive black holes of millions or even billions of solar masses, it is time to change our perception of black holes.

The research team also found that the size of a black hole measured by X-rays was much larger than that found by the laser interferometer Gravitational-Web Observatory (LIGO).

The Australian government has said the move would jeopardize Facebook's legitimacy.

Residents of Australia woke up on Thursday morning to find there was no news content on their news feed, Reuters reported. They can't even see the Facebook page of any local or international media.
