A few weeks ago, astronomers watched in amazement as a black hole woke up from a decades-long slumber and began tucking into a hearty breakfast. Not a croissant or a bowl of cereal, but a super-Jupiter! A super-Jupiter is an object that is much larger than Jupiter (the largest planet in our Solar System), but not big enough to be a star. In this case, about 30 times larger. To put this into perspective, the Earth would fit inside Jupiter over 1300 times!
Wiki chache zilizopita, wanaastronomia walitazama kwa mshangao shimo jeusi lilipoamka kutoka kwa usingizi wa miongo kadhaa na kuanza kujiingiza kwenye kifungua kinywa cha moyo. Si croissant au bakuli la nafaka, lakini super-Jupiter! Super-Jupiter ni kitu ambacho ni kikubwa zaidi kuliko Jupiter (sayari kubwa zaidi katika Mfumo wetu wa Jua), lakini si kubwa vya kutosha kuwa nyota. Katika kesi hii, karibu mara 30 zaidi. Ili kuweka hili katika mtazamo, Dunia ingetosha ndani ya Jupiter zaidi ya mara 1300!
