Australia: Every second, the fastest-growing black hole ever witnessed swallows the mass equal to an entire Earth. A multinational scientific team discovered that this massive black hole has a mass three billion times that of the sun. Its immediate consumption is forcing the monster to expand rapidly. The black hole consumes by sucking materials from a narrow circle of gas and dust swirling around it. It is the process known as accretion. Other similar-sized black holes ceased expanding billions of years ago, but this newly found black hole is still developing. It’s now 500 times larger than Sagittarius A*, the…
