Research: The mass of a black hole is 4.4 times the mass of sun | Binary systems | black hole - ISC

Research: The mass of a black hole is 4.4 times the mass of sun|Binary systems|black hole NASA and European Space Agency(ESA) for the first time measured the mass of a black hole moving in space with the one and only The Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Until now the mass of a black hole determined on the basis of position of binary systems or galaxies. Large black holes were belived to occur only with companion stars , but for the first time a single black hole has occured . The discovered black hole is believed to be about 80 light years away from our galaxy. Earlier it was estimated that it is 5000 light years away. Stars increase its mass by interacting with another star or its comapnion star. When the mass increased it explodes called Supernova. Remants called as 'neutron star'. When remanant is bery large it is called "black hole". According to scientists the mass of a neutron star is between 1.6 to 4.4 times the mass of sun. The discoveries till n...
