black hole star

The universe is filled with mysteries far beyond the understanding of humans. With every new discovery, we learn a little more about our vast neighborhood. And the more we learn, we realize how little we actually know. Earlier, astronomers believed that the most luminous or brightest cosmic objects were supernova events. But the latest discovery of a black hole destroying a star has rendered their knowledge useless. This cosmic object is still being measured in terms of energy and so far, it is more intense and shines…

The first image of a black hole captured four years ago revealed a fuzzy, fiery doughnut-shaped object. Now, researchers have used artificial intelligence to give that cosmic beauty shot a touch-up.The updated picture, published Thursday in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, keeps the original shape, but with a skinnier ring and a sharper resolution. The image released in 2019 gave a peek at the enormous black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy, 53 million light-years from Earth. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. It…

Black holes are the biggest mysteries in Space and yes, they are most savage phenomena in outer space. Now, they have been caught ravaging the same stars over and over again. The ESA XMM-Newton space telescope has provided two different teams of Astronomers a deep look at repeated outbursts of light from inactive black holes that are attacking the same stars again and again. This discovery is as unexpected as it is shocking as the outbursts from these black holes appear only when a black hole ravages a star. The…

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has found a black hole which has twisted a captive star into a terrifying Donut shape. Here is all you need to know. Black holes swallow everything, even light! According to NASA, a black hole is an astronomical object with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. It pulls everything within its reach into its bottomless abyss. As per the latest information provided by NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope has found a black hole which twisted a star into a…

The star being destroyed by a black hole was 10 million times the mass of our Sun. A number of NASA telescopes have observed an enormous black hole destroying a star that came too close. It was 10 million times the mass of our Sun. This was the 5th-closest example of a black hole eating a star ever observed. The telescope that NASA has deployed for the job is the NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescopic Array). It is the best space telescope capable of scrutinizing these wavelengths of light. Observing the…

Astronomers have detected an act of extreme violence more than halfway across the known universe as a black hole shreds a star that wandered too close to this celestial savage. Astronomers have detected an act of extreme violence more than halfway across the known universe as a black hole shreds a star that wandered too close to this celestial savage. But this was no ordinary instance of a ravenous black hole. It was one of only four examples - and the first since 2011 - of a black hole observed in the act of…
