The moment the supermassive black hole swallowed

For the first time, astronomers recorded a spectacular scene when a supermassive black hole tore and swallowed a star.

According to the Daily Mail , such a rare event about one of the most powerful forces in the universe shows that the flow of plasma spills out of the "spooky space monster" at the center of a distant galaxy, Left. land nearly 4 billion light years.

Scientists say that we have never observed spectacular performances before, when black holes swallow such debris. Extremely powerful plasma flows from this process can reach hundreds of thousands of light years.

Most galaxies have supermassive black holes (the space that absorbs everything nearby with their gravitational gravitational pull) in the central region, with masses of millions or even billions of faces. God.

The moment the supermassive black hole ruined a star that was "snatched" by the Swift telescope in March after moving very close to the giant black hole. Dr. David Burrows and a team of scientists from the University of Pennsylvania (USA) revealed that the chemical analysis of ultraviolet light of the flash showed that it came from matter attracted to a black hole. The size of a million suns.

The event of a black hole swallowing a star every 100 years happens once in a galaxy. The supermassive black hole is believed to be even stronger due to the extra mass from the star swallowed by it.

Massive absorption, such as stars or even other black holes, causes black holes to grow and turn into supermassive black holes, with masses of billions of suns combined. To make it easier to visualize the " magnitude " of the supermassive black holes, we can compare it to Earth, which only has a mass of 1 / 332,950 masses of a Sun.
