Using data gathered in August 2017 during a neutron star merger that occurred between 85 million and 160 million light - years away (an event in which the colliding stars together weighed about three times the mass of our sun), current astrophysical models suggest that that single event generated between one and five Earth masses of europium and between three and 13 Earth masses of gold, the researchers report this month in The Astrophysical Journal.

To be visible at such incredible distances, these quasars must be fueled by black holes containing about a billion times the mass of the sun.

Most black holes are thought to form when very massive stars — those with more than about 10 times the mass of sun — exhaust their nuclear fuel and begin to cool and therefore contract.

Given its mass — it holds stars with about 200 million times the mass of the sun — it would be expected to have about 300 times as much dark matter as normal matter.

«Even if only 1 percent of the mass in a filament takes part in the collapse, that's already 100,000 times the mass of the sun, a very good start to making one of these supermassive black holes,» Theuns says.

Planetary nebulae, which got their name after being misidentified by early astronomers, are formed when an ageing star weighing up to eight times the mass of the sun ejects its outer layers as clouds of luminous gas (see Why stars go out in a blaze of glory).

In 1783, British geologist and astronomer John Michell considered Newton's work on gravity and light and found that, in theory, a star with 125 million times the mass of the sun would have enough gravitational oomph to pull in any object trying to escape — even one traveling at light speed.
