Fastest Growing Black Hole Ever Discovered

Scientists just found the fastest growing black hole ever discovered. It eats the equivalent of our sun every single day.

But my question was, if it’s a black hole… an object so massive light can’t escape its pull... why is this one so bright? Here’s the answer that blew my mind.

"What's the brightest thing we've found in the universe?"
"Black hole."

[VexiuM]

Omitting how far it is from us is criminal.

[juppwood]

That is not optimistic, that’s terrifying😅

I like the way you define things. You describe what they are, and THEN you give the term. This makes learning easier. (Instead of someone giving the term and then explaining it)

When you take "All you can eat" too seriously

[mr.least]

Fun fact, it’s over 13 billion years old! It was born around 400 million years after the Big Bang

Space, when college professors explain 🗿🗿
Space, when you explain 🐭🐭

It's comforting that there's a black hole out there that could reasonably eat our sun for breakfast

"Sorry, we're at capacity. Do you mind waiting at the accretion disk? We'll call your number when a table opens up..."

I don't feel optimistic after hearing about something so powerful. Instead I'm having an existential crisis yet again.

What channel is definitely one of my favorites across all social media. I love learning about science and technology and especially new things out in space and this was one of those new things out in space that just blew my mind. Thank you so much for the content you make. I'm a big fan

[edpatience]

Pls keep producing your videos. They are fascinating. Kudos to you!

[CGZollars]

I’m understanding why people get an existential crisis when thinking about space. Even with you explaining it my mind just cannot comprehend that. 😨 that’s insane and now I hope it won’t come and eat us one day.

Imagine the amount of sun-screen you'd need to get protected from this.

[dishwasherdetergentsigma]

"the darkest nights makes the stars shine brighter"
"you mean black holes?"
"what."

[mpr]

These numbers are too big. Can't wrap my head around it.

New level of existential crisis unlocked. 😊
