Black Hole Devouring A Star

Astronomers are observing two unique black holes defying established cosmic theories. One, known as the "serial killer" black hole, is preparing to consume its second star in five years, an event that rarely occurs within such a timeframe. The other black hole, part of a triple system called V404 Cygni, has a structure that defies traditional black...

An undetected intermediate-mass black hole lurking in a dwarf galaxy revealed itself to astronomers when it devoured an unlucky star that got too close.

Researchers have recently observed a collapsed dense neutron star shredding and devouring its stellar companion to become one of the heaviest neutron stars ever spotted. The star has a mass 2.35 times that of the Sun and spins at a speed of 707 rounds per second. The finding may now give astronomers an insight into the weird quantum state of matter...

Scientists have provided the first look at the black hole — called Sagittarius A*, or SgrA — lurking at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy, unveiling an image of a supermassive black hole that devours any matter wandering within its gargantuan gravitational pull.

A fresh examination has revealed new details about the first black hole ever detected – that was spotted in 1964 and became the subject of a friendly wager between renowned scientists – including that it is bigger than previously known.

Astronomers unveiled the first photo of a black hole on Wednesday, putting to rest a lot of questions on one of the most mysterious things in the Universe.

Supermassive black holes rip up and devour hapless stars a hundred times more frequently than thought, according to research released on Monday.

Scientists have witnessed the rare spectacle of a supermassive black hole devouring a star that had ventured too close -- an event that occurs about once in 10,000 years, they reported on Wednesday.
