What is actually this object, tried to describe Associate Professor Christian Wolf. According to him, it’s something seven light years in diameter. A tiny, if you can say so, point in the middle of a mass of about 17 billion suns, surrounded by an incredible cloud of gas and matter decaying under monstrous pressure. The average temperature there is 10,000 °C, and the speed of the “winds” – vortices of rotating matter – is such that a speck of dust in such a flow can circle the Earth in a fraction of a second.
