Leicester UK (SPX) Sep 11, 2023 - A star like our own Sun in a nearby galaxy is gradually being eaten away by a small but ravenous black hole, losing the equivalent mass of three Earths every time it passes close. The discovery by U
A new data-handling method found this Sun-like star being consumed by a 200,000 solar mass supermassive black hole (SMBH.)
Using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, which launched in 2004, scientists have discovered a black hole in a distant galaxy repeatedly nibbling on a Sun-like star. The object heralds a new era of Swift science made possible by a novel method for analyzing data from the satellite’s X-ray Telescope (XRT).
NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has made a remarkable discovery involving a black hole in a distant galaxy exhibiting an unusual behavior.
Star Swallowed by Supermassive Black Hole Sends Ghostly Particle to Earth A high-energy particle, thought to have been sent our way by a supermassive black hole hundreds of millions of years ago, has collided with Earth and offered astronomers a rare insight into black holes. Supermassive black holes are behemoths hiding in the centers of galaxies. Their gravitational force is so strong that if an unlucky star gets too close to it, the star will be shredded into pieces. Astronomers call this a tidal disruption event. The black hole then swallows the remains of the star, temporarily giving off...
