In normal circumstances, fruits eaten by birds usually ends up on house roofs. However, something else dropped in Florida’s home.

It took place on March 8 of last year. A chunk of metal dropped onto the roof of a US home in Florida. There have been no reported fatalities or injuries. However, many doubts about where and how it came from surfaced.

NASA began examining this object, which weighed 700 grams and measured 10 cm in length. The Kennedy Space Centre’s research finally demonstrated that it is a metal remnant of the International Space Station.

On March 11, 2021, the robotic arms of the space station threw the metal cabinets containing the outdated nickel-hydrogen batteries.

It was an experiment to fix new batteries. It was anticipated that this would burn up as soon as it entered the earth’s atmosphere. However, one fragment revived. That fragment landed on Florida’s home’s roof. Although NASA has robust capabilities to prevent things from falling onto the earth’s surface, there have been rare instances where the opposite has occurred. The findings of the 150 scientists at the Paris Science Lab, in partnership with the European Space Agency, University College, London, and Paris, have demonstrated this. It is around 2000 light years away from us.

It is the closest black hole, according to discoveries. The strong gravitational pull of this black hole prevents even light from leaving it. This is the path of strong gravitational force, where its particles are gathered in a small corner.

Two varieties of black holes exist:
1. Stellar black hole
2. Supermassive Black hole
A stellar black hole is created when two neutron stars collide or when a single star dies. Thus, star-related particles are present. Stellar black particles often have a weight that is three to fifty times greater. There are roughly 100 million star black holes in the Milky Way.

Particles from 50,000 to a trillion times more than the total mass of supermassive black holes. Nobody is aware of this evolution’s beginnings. Researchers are still working. Galaxies have supermassive black holes at their center. Every supermassive black hole is created as a result of the galaxy’s formation. Supermassive black holes under the dominion of galaxies are referred to as Sagittarius A stars. The recently found Gaya-BH3 galaxy has an endless amount of particles.
