Scientists posit that stars could have been millions to billions times bigger than our sun!
Stars resemble twinkling dots in our night skies, but scientists now believe that the celestial bodies were way bigger earlier!
Scientists at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) in Taiwan recently found that supermassive black holes situated at the centre of galaxies were actually really gigantic stars - too big for our comprehension.
The researchers ascertained that black holes were left behind in the aftermath of large supernovas from these supermassive stars.
Supernovas are essentially large-scale explosions that take place once the star runs out of energy and collapses into itself. Supernovas are considered the largest explosions in space. Reported first by Phys[dot]org, the team published their findings in the journal titled “Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society”.
