Australian researchers have discovered the fastest-growing black hole known in the universe which is swallowing up the surrounding cosmos. “Astronomers find a hungry black hole that could gobble up our sun in two days,” he warned his followers. The discovery of the new supermassive black hole was confirmed using the spectrograph on the ANU’s 2.3m SkyMapper telescope to split colours into spectral lines. “These large and rapidly-growing black holes are exceedingly rare, and we have been searching for them with SkyMapper for several months now. The European Space Agency’s Gaia satellite, which measures tiny motions of celestial objects, helped us find this supermassive black hole,” Dr Wolf said.
