With the help of the WebB space telescope, astronomers found in the early universe super -massive black holes in the centers of galaxies, which have too much mass compared to the mass of their galaxies. So far, there is no exact explanation for this. The study is published on the ARXIV preprint server, Live Science writes.

In the modern universe, super -massive black holes in the centers of galaxies have a mass of about 0.01% of the mass of their native galaxies, that is, the mass of all stars. But the calculations of astronomers have shown that super -massive black holes in the center of the Webb Galaxies discovered by the telescope from the early Universe have a mass of about 10% of the mass of their galaxies. This is too much important and this means that these black holes are about 1000 times more massive than should be.

This discovery once again confirms other observations, which showed that super massive black holes in the early Universe could somehow grow to very large sizes much faster than the models suggest. The fact is that the Webb telescope discovered up to 1 billion years after a large explosion black holes, the mass of which is millions of times more than the mass of the sun. But current models show that black holes in order to gain this mass need more than 1 billion years.

Black holes, which have become the object of a new study, are located in the centers of galaxies, which the astronomers called " After all, the galaxies in the photographs of the Webb telescope look like that. These galaxies already existed 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, while the Universe appeared 13.8 billion years ago. That is, their black holes began to grow much earlier.

Scientists came to the conclusion that the red color gives the red color to these galaxies, which comes out of the accretion disk of the central black hole. This disc is a cloud of gas and dust that the black hole consumes. Given the greater brightness of these discs in this case, black holes are the active nuclei of the galaxies, that is, they actively absorb matter and release a lot of radiation from their environs. This radiation is so strong that the light of stars in galaxies overshadows.

" But the astronomers found that these galaxies are small and have a relatively small mass. Therefore, it is even more surprising that they contain very large ultra -massive black holes.

The authors of the study say that the new discovery shows that super -massive black holes can actively grow even in small galaxies.

Scientists do not yet know how black holes have become so large, but perhaps this is due to the fact that they could quickly absorb matter in the early universe. Scientists also say that the high gas density in galaxies could lead to a denser location of the stars. Thus, when these stars were dying, they turned into small black holes, which then merged and turned into a huge black hole.

As Focus already wrote, NASA discovered key components for life in the samples of asteroid Bennu. Scientists are wondering why life was not formed on an asteroid, given the presence of important components for its creation.

Focus also wrote that the astronomers found on the satellite of Jupiter the largest volcanic activity of all that were observed there.
