A unique black hole has been discovered in the galaxy of the Large Magellan

Astronomers have discovered a black hole in the galaxy of the Large Magellanic Cloud, which was recognized as unique for two reasons at once.

Firstly, its unusual origin. Most likely, the star gradually turned into a black hole, and usually such changes are accompanied by an explosion, a supernova exceeding the annual luminosity of a hundred billion suns.

Well, one more aspect is worth mentioning - the detected object is claimed to be the first sleeping (not emitting) black hole located outside the Milky Way .

A new discovery made by astronomers in the Tarantula nebula makes us think again about the origin of black holes, since it was previously believed that all black holes are born in powerful cataclysms that wipe out entire planetary systems, Forbes Russia reports.
