Astronomers discover a black hole 300 million light years distant that is bending a star into a doughnut shape.

Three hundred million light-years away, astronomers observe a black hole doughnuting a star.

Listen to the post:

The moment a star gets torn apart by a black hole and transformed into a doughnut shape has been captured on film. The researchers involved in the discovery have remarked that it is teaching them a great deal about black holes and that it is “exactly at the interface of the known and the unknown.”

The gravity of a black hole is so strong that not even light can flee from it.

Their presence can be inferred from the way they affect other stuff, like stars, even though they cannot be directly observed using telescopes that detect x-rays, light, or other forms of electromagnetic radiation.

Even with all the new information we have on black holes, we still have a lot to learn about them. However, the finding of a black hole whirling a star into a doughnut shape has helped us understand them better. Hubble Space Telescope observations revealed the star’s demise at the hands of a black hole about 300 Myr away.
