Astronomers identify new celestial class
A team of astronomers has made a new discovery of a black hole star, an enormous object extending across the scale of the solar system and characterized by a very bright red glow. The object, named MoM-BH*-1, was found in the constellation Cassiopeia, billions of light-years away from Earth, about 660 million years after the Big Bang. This finding challenges current understanding of how celestial bodies formed in the early universe. The object appears as a massive star, but its energy output exceeds what any known star can produce—reaching approximately 100 billion times the energy of an ordinary star—and its current properties are close to those associated with black holes. Scientists believe that this object is a black hole surrounded by vast amounts of gas, hiding its true nature and causing it to appear as a highly luminous star. This discovery could revolutionize scientific concepts regarding the nature of cosmic objects in the early universe.
