A number of discoveries with the help of the Russian-German space telescope "Spektr-RG" confirmed the cosmological model of the origin of the Universe as a result of the Big Bang, scientific secretary of the Institute for Space Research Andrey Sadovsky said on Friday, August 6.
"The Big Bang model is being confirmed. One of the discoveries was the discovery of a very distant quasar (a black hole in the center of the galaxy, the fall of matter into which causes a huge release of matter and energy. - Ed.), the fact that it was formed at the early stages of the formation of the Universe, " RIA Novosti quotes him.
The Big Bang theory describes the birth of the universe from a singularity-a point with a minimum size and infinite density and temperature. Currently, the Big Bang theory is combined with the theory of a hot universe.
On January 12, an international team of astronomers discovered the earliest and most distant quasar in the universe, fully formed 670 million years after the Big Bang.
Last December, the Russian astrophysical space observatory "Spektr-RG" saw the destruction of a star that flew too close to a supermassive black hole.
In February of the same year, astronomers discovered at a distance of 390 million light-years from Earth the consequences of the most powerful release of energy in the Universe since the Big Bang.
