Farthest monster black hole found 天文学家发现距地球最远的巨型黑洞 近日，天文学家发现了迄今为止已知最遥远的“超大”黑洞。这个大量吞噬其周围物质的黑洞离地球的距离为130亿光年。请听以下的报道。 Scientists used telescopes in Chile and Hawaii and an orbiting NASA probe to detect a black hole 13 billion light years away from Earth at the centre of a huge luminous object known as a quasar. Researchers from the Carnegie Institution for Science say light detected from the quasar dates back to only 690 million years after the Big Bang when the Universe was emerging from a period known as the Dark Ages. Writing in the journal Nature, they say the age and sheer size of the black hole – about 800 million times the mass of our Sun – challenges current notions about the formation of these black holes and the Universe itself. 词汇表 orbiting 在轨道上运行的… probe 探测器 light years 光年 luminous 发亮的 quasar 类星体 the Big Bang 创世大爆炸 the Universe 宇宙 the Dark Ages 黑暗时代 sheer size 庞大的体积 notions 观念，看法 formation 形成方式，结构 测验 请听报道并回答下列问题。 1.
