this NASA image shows the highest concentration of black holes ever NASA's Chandra x-ray Observatory released an image that looks like a bunch of out-of-focus Christmas lights with a very black background however the image is actually of space and it contains the highest concentration of black holes ever seen nASA says it is the equivalent of 5,000 objects that will fit into the area on the sky covered by the full moon this image is the product of over 7 million seconds of observing time and come from another image known as the Chandra Deep Field south that roughly translates to about 81 days of observing time by the way NASA says this is the deepest x-ray image ever obtained the colors in the image represent levels of x-ray energy detected by Chandra high-energy x-rays are blue medium or green and the lowest energy x-rays are red about 70 percent of the objects in the image are supermassive black holes this part of space is 9 to 11 billion light-years away from Earth and is located in the constellation Formax all right so it's a pretty picture but what does it mean according to Neil Brent the person leading a team of astronomers studying the image the picture will allow researchers to explore the earliest days of black holes in the universe and see how they change over billions of years to figure all this out researchers are combining the Chandra x-ray data with Hubble Space Telescope data for more information check out cnet.com a my as act higher and I'll see you online
