Esa Giant Black Hole Rips Star Apart Panel Detail Giant black hole rips star apart. esa pr 12 2004. a super massive black hole has ripped apart a star and consumed a portion of it, according to data from esa's xmm newton and nasa's chandra x ray observatories. these results are the best evidence yet that such a phenomenon, long predicted by theory, does actually happen. Cambridge, mass. 617 496 7998. jonathan deal. marshall space flight center. huntsville, ala. 256 544 0034. astronomers have made an unprecedented forensic study of a star that was torn apart when it ventured too close to a giant black and then had its insides tossed out into space.
Esa Giant Black Hole Rips Star Apart Astronomers have found many examples of “tidal disruption events” in recent years, where the gravitational forces from a massive black hole destroy a star. this causes a flare, often seen in optical and ultraviolet light and x rays, as the star’s debris is heated up. this event, called asassn 14li, stands out for several reasons. The giant black hole tore apart the massive star, ripping out the star’s insides and ejecting them into space. image via nasa cxc university of michigan j. miller et al. cxc m.weiss. The star in asassn 14li is therefore one of the most massive—and perhaps the most massive—that astronomers have seen ripped apart by a black hole to date. “asassn 14li is exciting because one of the hardest things with tidal disruptions is being able to measure the mass of the unlucky star, as we have done here,” said co author enrico. Black hole rips star apart, creating biggest blast ever seen. at first scientists thought the inconceivably bright flare was a supernova. it turns out it was a far crazier cosmic collision. eric.
