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. Click the link in the bio to learn more. ⬆️⁣
