Spitzer reveals the Precise timing of a black hole dance

Black Hole, undoubtedly a topic of great interest to all the science lovers. This sensational topic in today’s world of astronomy has never failed to amuse its people. Recently the Spitzer Telescope has revealed the precise timing of a black hole dance. The scientists have finally figured out the precise timing of a complicated dance between two enormous black holes and this can be used to study the physical characteristics of these mysterious cosmic objects. The OJ287 galaxy homes one of the largest black holes ever found over 18 billion which is over 18 billion times the mass of our Sun. You can also find another black hole with about 150 million times the Sun’s mass orbiting the bigger black hole. Twice every 12 years the smaller one crashes through the enormous disk of gas surrounding the larger one. Surprisingly, the flash of light created during this crash is even brighter than the entire Milky Way Galaxy and the light takes 3.5 billion years to reach our home. And after decades of several attempts now, scientists have modelled a system that can accurately predict the timing of the flares to within 4 hours. All the astrophile out there, keep your eyes and ears wide open coz we never know when the scientists would uncover the next mystery!!!
