Cameron Scott examines recent research that has disrupted current theories on what happens inside neutron stars.
Astronomers have witnessed a black hole feeding on the remains of a star it ripped apart, spotting the formation of a halo of hot gas called a corona.
The work demonstrates how the destruction of a star by a black hole—a process formally known as a tidal disruption event
Multiple NASA telescopes observed a black hole devouring a wandering star. A gigantic black hole that was tearing apart an unfortunate star that strayed too close was seen by many NASA telescopes.
Recent observations of a black hole devouring a wandering star may help scientists understand more complex black hole feeding behaviors.
