Hello friends of #steemit, today I bring you a fascinating article that many see as a myth and others as something real, then they will see something that will leave them open-mouthed.

The black hole

It is such a dense body, with so much mass and so little volume, that it attracts everything by its immeasurable gravity. For many do not know but this hole was discovered in June 2004 by astronomers and was located in the center of a distant galaxy about 12700 million light years.

Black holes contain the entire mass of the star at a mathematical point, which is known as a singularity.

This happens every time a stellar mass forms when a star of more than 20 solar masses runs out of fuel in its core and collapses under its own weight.

These holes grow by the accumulation of matter that it takes, this includes the gas giving off from neighboring stars and even other holes.

Did you know

That a black hole is very close to the earth It is about 1,000 light years distant, which is equivalent to about 9,500 billion km, in the constellation Telescope.

That sounds like it's a long way off, but on the scale of the universe it's like it's just our next-door neighbor.
