The discovery is the result of nearly two decades of work and the object was first noticed way back in 2004. It is estimated to have over 30 billion times the mass of our Sun. This black hole could fit an equivalent of 30 billion suns in it, making it one of the most interesting discoveries of our times.
Crescent will operate its own network of satellites in lunar orbit to support spacecraft on and around the Moon. The first satellites are projected to launch in 2025. Mission on the moon tend to communicate from its near side.
The giant black hole has a mass of 30 billion suns and sits at the center of a galaxy located hundreds of millions of light-years from Earth. The black hole is a result of gravity bending the light around extremely massive objects. It is one of the biggest ever detected and on the upper limit of how large black holes can theoretically become.
A supermassive black hole spewing radiation at near light speed has shifted its angle by a whopping 90 degrees to point directly toward Earth. This means the galaxy's jets are now pointed directly at earth. New research reclassifies the galaxy as a blazar.

The capsule will parachute its way down to earth and land at the air force’s Utah Test and Training Range in the Great Salt Lake Desert. The capsule has to land within a 37-mile by 9-mile ellipse (59 km by 15 km) about 13 minutes after it is released by the spacecraft.
The Webb Space Telescope has found no evidence of an atmosphere at one of the seven rocky, Earth-sized planets orbiting a nearby star. Some of the planets in the Trappist system are in the sweet spot for harboring water and potentially life.
Glass beads measure less than a millimetre across. They form when meteoroids slam into the moon and send up showers of molten droplets. These then solidify and become mixed into moon dust. Scientists say the beads contain substantial quantities of water.
Glass beads spawned in violent impacts from space rocks on the lunar surface have been found to have water trapped inside. The moon is constantly bombarded with impactors - for example micrometeoroids and large meteoroids - which produce impact glass beads during high-energy flash-heating events.
