I took a photo of the largest black hole in the universe - Ton 618

- Hello everyone, in this video I discuss the history, discvoery, and facts about the black hole/quasar ton618. I show the telescope I used to capture it and the image I took. This video is more focused on the facts and history of the quasar rather than the capture process, since it is just a dot I find this to be more interesting.

Thanks Bray for sharing your time and using the wonderful scopes you have access to, this give us far more interest in our own imaging while understanding the universe more and more each time.

We are fortunate to live in these days, technology is improving so fast that we are getting exposed to incredible deep space anomalies. Thanks for sharing (seen your photos in London, very cool)
Please keep making more videos braybuddy, this was so informative!
Very interesting video. Sometimes the simplest of images have the most fascinating stories behind them. Thanks for sharing this.
The distance given by wikipedia is 10.4 billion light years. What I understand is due to the expansion of the universe the quasar "ton 618" would now be at a distance of 18.2 billion light years. So what is mentioned in Wikipedia is the timing of the light emission from the quasar, right?
yes, the distance it currently appears is 10.8 billion light years, but excluding the speed of light lag and due to the It is partly wrong to say that he photographed an object 18 billion years ago expansion of the universe, it is now 18 billion light years
It's the comoving distance
That was fantastic. Thank you.
Thanks for making me think about space. Photos are good but getting people thinking is also good.
GREAT VIDEO!
amazing! can you take a picture of malin-1?
I am a little confused.......do you know what is the designation of that galaxy near to Ton 618? The coordinates I get off of the internet for Ton 618 (RA 12h 28m 25s / Dec +31o 28` 38"), when plugged into Stellarium, do not show that nearby galaxy. Either Stellarium is incomplete, or the coordinates are wrong, or that galaxy is too distant to be listed in Stellarium....
It's crazy how science and maths go hand in hand and how these cataloging of celestial objects is done ✅
Whose video did he recommend?
I believe ton 618 is thought to actually be made from means other than collapsing stars. Its origin is primordial black holes colliding during the beginning of the universe. Since then galactic collisions and all the time swallowing stars and other black holes has made it grow to this size.
ton 618 isnt special. This is a problem with all supermassive blackholes. There are numerous hypotheses though, for example, that they formed through the collapse of quasi-stars
Good stuff, Bray!
@@bingusiswatching6335 for what it is, I would say it's special
@@patootie3529 yeah yeah its really damn big, but it isn't special in that it raises that problem
As far as I know, TON 618 is 66 billion solar masses, NOT 40!
It's around 90 or it's actually 20 billion because we may be wrong and Ton 618 breaks our view of how black holes work.
Maths describes everything even telling a mass of a glowing dot like ton 618 formulas exists we just need the values which gets lower and higher thus you hear ton 618 mass to be 40 billion solar mass 66 billion solar mass 20 billion solar mass etc but the best fit for the observation and most accurate is 40.9 billion solar mass
Dude he said at least then literally said it’s mostly likely a lot more!? Idk why people have to chime in constantly trying to correct someone who clearly knows wtf their talking about
I haven't seen video (commenting before premiering) but I am sure this man's work will be BEST! Love from INDIA!
7:35 shat is the name of that website?
Astrobin
Dude, space is so facsinating!
It takes 12 billion years for light from that quasar to reach earth!
Thank you for someone saying it's phoenix say
Looks like a p1000 is about the same zoom if not better
fun fact: the new largest black hole is phoenix a
Phoenix A*??
Phoenix-A* is a galaxy
No it isnt ;)
Yeah no, Phoenix A* is a black hole mate
@@SaneGuyFr No its not its a black hole
It's not real.
6:35 how should we see the quasar as it was 20billion years ago when the universe is only 13billion years old?
This is because the expansion of the universe is faster than the speed of light, hence the number.
@@harshbayad7 but as the quasar moves further away it doesn't mean that it gets older
Light year is a measurement of distance not time. It’s distance is 20 billion light year but this is due to space expanding faster than the speed of light. This doesn’t mean that ton 618 is older than the universe though.
@@joshv1232yeah ik, but doesn't bray say here that it is 20 billion years old?
Shouldn't he say 20 billion light years away?
@@caquoxxouqac yeah I think he made a mistake
If someone says phoenix is not real Listen to this Phoenix A. Is in a Cluster called the phoenix cluster
It's an abell Type of galaxy
i hate to break it to you but i think TON 618 is only about 10.37 billion light years away
3.31 Gpc (10.8 Gly)
(light travel distance)
5.59 Gpc (18.2 Gly)
(present comoving distance)
if the black hole is that massive does it mean that billions and billions of suns have fallen into that specific black hole...how long did that take and how big would the galaxy have been ?
But... Isn't the largest black hole Pheonix A? Also it's probably not the largest black hole in the universe cus the universe is practically infinite.
It's not the biggest. It isn't even real.
It might black holes size can be infinite probably so that can be Black was bigger than our galaxy But we know phoenix a And ton 618Are small compared to our Galaxy
How to tell if you're really smart: you can explain incomprehensible subjects to ordinarily intelligent people
A
Its actually 66 billion times more massive than our sun
I'm curious about luminousity ton 618 it is said 140 trillion Times our sun. So i imagine what distance how bright ton 618 as we see the sun on earth. So my estimates is if distance sun to earth is 8,3 minutes light years So for 618 tons to be as bright as the sun to Earth, it needs a distance of 650,8 billion light years.its not make sense, and ton 618 distance Is 18,2 billion light year . And we see ton 618 with teleskop as Tiny little dot, It Is not make sense
Phoenix A. the biggest black hole
So posthispotato You're wrong
Or............
We don't know $hit
Not even close to Phoenix a 50 trillion solar masses
TON 618 is 18.2 Billion Light-years distant? Then how can the Universe 🌌 be only ~14 billion years old?
shut up
Light years are a unit of distance not time
I'm right
Xd
The biggest black hole ever is phoenix
You can’t make an image of a black hole, make a selfie of your brain is the closest you can get
Ecreasion disc has light around the black hole so we can observe it
Please, stop talking about the astrophysical origin of TON 618. Your explanation is wrong!
