Black Hole's Appetite
Black holes are incredibly hungry! Scientists have observed these celestial giants devouring stars at alarming rates. This cosmic feast leads to fascinating
events, including high-speed ejections of matter that scientists call 'burps'. Imagine a giant tandoori oven in space, cooking up stars! The James Webb telescope has also uncovered new, hidden types of black holes never seen before.
Stellar Demise Scenes
When a star gets too close, a black hole rips it apart, like tearing a roti. Astronomers have simulated these dramatic final moments, revealing how a star 'breaks like an egg.' This spectacular event leaves behind a trail of cosmic debris, as the black hole consumes the star. This is a story of cosmic tragedy.
Beyond the Big Bang
The universe's rarest types of black holes continue to amaze. Recent discoveries include a monster black hole jet from the early universe, basking in the 'afterglow' of the Big Bang. Moreover, astronomers are observing the most powerful cosmic explosions since that same Big Bang. It's like witnessing the most epic Diwali fireworks show!
Galactic Collisions Revealed
Galactic collisions often become a playground for black holes. One such event led to the discovery of a black hole ripping a star apart. 'It is a peculiar event,' as scientists described it. This also involves intermediate-mass black holes that capture and shred stars. It's cosmic chaos at its finest!
