Black Holes Could Help Star Formation, According to Hubble Telescope Research
HIGHLIGHTS
Black Holes are well-known for their ability to engulf everything.
In the Henize 2-10 galaxy, a star-forming black hole has been discovered.
NASA and ESA collaborated on the Hubble Space Telescope.

According to a recent study based on Hubble Space Telescope results, black holes can sometimes go despite their all-absorbing character and help creation. A supermassive black hole in the centre of a dwarf galaxy 30 million light-years distant was discovered to be creating stars rather than swallowing it, according to the findings. According to NASA, the black hole appears to be leading to an inferno of new star formation in the Henize 2-10 galaxy in the south sign Pyxis.

Black holes, which are found at the centres of huge galaxies like our own, the Milky Way, have long been thought to prevent rather than promote star formation. However, this one-million-solar-mass black hole is causing a massive number of stars to develop. The little Henize 2-10 galaxy was the subject of a ten-year disagreement among astronomers, according to NASA. The question was then whether dwarf galaxies might host black holes comparable to those observed in bigger galaxies. Henize 2-10 contains just one-tenth the amount of stars found in the Milky Way, according to this new finding.

NASA said in a blog post that researchers published their findings in the Nature magazine this week. 'I felt something strange and exceptional was going on in Henize 2-10 from the start. And now, thanks to Hubble, we have a clear image of the relationship between the black hole and a nearby star-forming area 230 light-years away 'Amy Reines, the new Hubble research's primary scientist, stated . NASA and ESA collaborated on the Hubble Space Telescope. After 30 years of service, the Hubble Space Telescope will be replaced by the more powerful James Webb Space Telescope this summer.
