its scientists NASA Recently they were able to … look at a supermassive black hole devouring a star through the Hubble telescope.

According to what he posted BBCScientists have seen a black hole transform a star into something like Huge donutbefore swallowing it whole.

process is calledTidal disturbance has occurredAnd according to NASA, this is one of the most complex and violent things to happen in our known universe.

Star life is very interesting – it forms when particles of space dust begin to coalesce and give life to the stars of solar systems that can burn brightly for millions of years. And sometimes, very rarely… They eat supermassive black holes!

Researchers believe that by studying such phenomena, they will be able to learn more about what happens during such an event.

But what was recorded does not happen now since then 300 million light-years away, Which means that what the Hubble telescope recorded actually happened millions of years ago.

This is because the emitted light takes a long time to become visible to our telescopes.

However, this is not the first time such an event has been recorded.

Scientists have observed more than 100 tidal disturbance events, including one in 2021 that scientists NASA Spotted speaking in another galaxy.

But the difference this time is that Hubble observed the phenomenon in ultraviolet (UV) lightUnlike x-ray light.

the Emily Engelthaler at Harvard University’s Center for Astrophysics explained that observing the black hole using ultraviolet light can give us more information about the event.

When the black hole began… eating the star, it distorted the gases that made it They are shaped like a donut.
