>Black holes are among the most feared objects in the universe. These huge concentrations of tightly–packed matter, with a gravitational pull too strong for light to escape, can gobble up entire planets. And according to scientists, one black hole in particular seems to have an unstoppable appetite. Located 12.8 billion light–years away, the black hole, called RACS J0320–35, weighs about a billion times the mass of our sun. Data from NASA's Chandra X–ray Observatory reveals it is growing at 2.4 times the theoretical limit – one of the fastest rates ever recorded. The power source of this 'glowing monster' is large amounts of matter, such as gas, dust, and other stellar debris.
