The mystery occurred in space approximately 800 million light years away. Scientists try to decipher the mystery of the fused mass.
Scientists who are dedicated to the exploration and study of what is happening in space are shocked by an event that occurred on August 14, 2019. Three detectors at different international observatories received a gravitational wave signal. This normally occurs when two black holes merge. However this event had something in particular. Well, when decoding the signal, astronomers noticed that one of the objects was not a black hole.
This specific statement is the one that has become the object of study for almost 11 months. Scientists claim that one of the objects in space has a mass equivalent to 23 suns. On that they assure that it is the black hole. While the other had an extension of 2.6 soles. “We have not seen anything like it so far,” he said. Vicky Kalogera from Northwestern University, according to National Geographic.
The debate that scientists have to conclude that this object is in space, goes through two options. One of them is that it is another black hole, but one of the lightest. While another option could be that it is one of the heaviest neutron stars. In other words, the remains that remain in space when supernovae explode.
The midpoint of space that scientists want to know
What keeps scientists attentive to this research is that they try to know two specific points. And this event that occurred in August of last year, is a potential informant about this event. Astronomers want to know where a neutron star ends and where a black hole begins. The aforementioned portal explains that to identify this border would be to reveal how matter behaves in the most extreme conditions of the universe. “If it is a neutron star, it is a fascinating mass for a neutron star. If it is a black hole, it is a fascinating mass for a black hole (…) Be that as it may, it caught our attention as soon as
