On April 13th NASA revealed that with the help of the Hubble Telescope they are finally shedding light on the Black Hole’s history and origin. So in today’s article, let’s talk about NASA’s theory and how they discover it.

Finally, the Astronomers have discovered a rapidly growing Black Hole in the center of a famous sky field. As per scientists, this new black hole can work as a “missing link” between the supermassive Black Holes and the young Star from Galaxies.
This is a huge discovery for scientists. Now they can study the young Black Hole and the discovery can unfold some of the mysteries of how the universe was formed.
The Astronomers have used the data from Hubble Telescope. While studying the data the scientists found a young rapidly growing Black Hole. They referred to this hole as GNz7q. Later they also revealed that this Hole was unnoticed till now. They found GNz7q in the sky of North Field. However, this area of the sky is mostly highly studied. Here the sky is observed by an observatory.
After using the archived data from the Hubble Telescope camera, the international team of scientists has come to the conclusion that this huge object existed just 750 million years after the Big Bang period. The “Cosmic Dawn” period, is the earliest period after the universe’s birth. And GNz7q is the only Black Hole of its time that is discovered now.
Scientists have found a compact source of ultraviolet rays and infrared lights but these are not the only source of star formation. But the compact source rather matches the radiation that comes from the materials falling into the Black Hole.
As per the Scientists, the explanation for the fast-growing Black Hole is that it is covered in dust and eventually it will become a Quasar, an extreme source of light at the heart of a baby galaxy.
As per the report of Nature Journal, these dust radiant Black Holes are very much capable of transforming into big luminous Quasars. And this was predicted by theories and computer simulation. But now GNz7q is the living example of this theory.
The lead Seiji Fujimoto(author) explained that their analysis suggests that GNz7q is the first example of a rapidly growing Black Hole in the Starburst Galaxy. It is probably an epoch close to the earliest supermassive Black Hole.
Fujimoto also said that GNz7q will provide the connection between these two rare populations. And GNz7q will also help in understanding the rapid growth of supermassive Black Holes.
