Are you throwing all your money into a black hole today?⁣ ⁣ Forget Black Friday — celebrate #BlackHoleFriday with us and get sucked into this recent discovery of a black hole that may have sparked star births across multiple galaxies. ⁣ ⁣ If confirmed, this discovery would represent the widest reach ever seen for a black hole acting as a stellar kick-starter — enhancing star formation more than one million light-years away. ⁣ ⁣ Telescopes like nasachandraxray help us detect the X-rays produced by hot gas swirling around the black hole.
