Black hole seen gulping star
July 1, 2021
WISCONSIN: Talk about a heavy snack. For the first time, astronomers have witnessed a black hole swallowing a neutron star, the most dense object in the universe all in a split-second gulp, reports foreign media.
Ten days later they saw the same thing, on the other side of the universe. In both cases, a neutron star a teaspoon of which would weigh a billion tons orbits ever closer to that ultimate point of no return, a black hole, until they finally crash together and the neutron star is gone in a gobble. Astronomers witnessed the last 500 orbits before the neutron stars were swallowed, a process that took far less than a minute and briefly generated as much energy as all the visible light in the observable universe.
