Australian scientists have made a remarkable discovery in space: a black hole that consumes the equivalent of our entire solar system every day. This colossal black hole, named J 0529-435, is the fastest-growing ever observed by humans. Its accretion disk, filled with gas and space material, makes it the brightest constant object in the universe, about 500 trillion times brighter than the sun. This discovery not only excites scientists but also provides them with valuable insights into these enigmatic and voracious cosmic entities.
