This article talks about the discovery of a new black hole that was discovered using x-ray signals. Upon the discovery the scientists realized that compared to all the other black holes they’ve come upon this one is super massive comparable to the stars in terms of weight. Upon reading this I was shocked that a black hole can have weight compared to the stars within its galaxy. I was shocked about this because I remember in my earth science class in high school that most black holes typically weight less than the star it formed from. The more I learned about the way a black hole functions the more I became intrigued about space because I didn’t know it was possible for black holes to really have the mass of stars and on top of that it was supermassive. This kind of information always makes me happy while nervous because you never really know what goes on in space. While I was reading this, I made sure to pay attention to Mr. Mohon writing style and use of words. The writing style that I noticed sounded very informative and it was able to continue to captivate the audience. The purpose of the author writing this way was to explain the importance of NASA’s groundbreaking research regarding a black hole that was not only massive, but this time weigh almost the same size as the stars within the galaxy something that is unheard of. I believe the author is credible because after I read the article, I researched more information about Lee Mohon and as it turns out he is NASA’s top contributor especially when it comes to writing articles. I think the genre that the author chose was a good choice for the audience because it can share information with those who are really interested in science and space or just like to learn new things regarding the universe and galaxy that we live in. Another reason I think why the genre that the author chose was good for the audience is because it can showcase his credibility and share his knowledge with those who might also pursue science in the future or who also might be an astronaut. His choice for this genre provides a lot of positive possibilities for the audience if they are motivated by the information that was learned from this article. “Bogdan’s team has found strong evidence that the newly discovered black hole was born massive. Its mass is estimated to fall between 10 and 100 million Suns, based on the brightness and energy of the X-rays.”
