NASA Discovers Rare ‘Orphan’ Black Hole Devouring Star Outside Galaxy Core in 1st-of-Its-Kind Observation
NASA has discovered a rare 'orphan' black hole devouring a star more than 30,000 light-years from its host galaxy's centre, marking the first optical tidal disruption event detected so far outside a galactic core. Scientists say the breakthrough could help uncover hidden wandering supermassive black holes and reshape how astronomers study the universe. 🔬 NASA Discovers Rare ‘Orphan’ Black Hole Devouring Star Outside Galaxy Core in 1st-of-Its-Ki…
Astronomers identify one of the universe's rarest black hole events
A team of astronomers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has observed an extremely rare "wandering" black hole located tens of thousands of light-years from the center of its galaxy. This finding could reshape scientists' understanding of how massive black holes move through the universe after galaxies collide. The findings are published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Again the tidal tear of a star was observed. But this time was not a central black hole of the evildoers, but a loner.
A group of astronomers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has identified a rare tidal disruption event (TDE) involving a black hole and a star, located approximately 30,000 light-years from the center of its galaxy. The event, named TDE 2025abcr, marks the first optical observation of a TDE outside the galactic core. Rare encounter between black hole and star: Tidal disruption events occur when a star gets too close to a superm…
