Astronomers Stunned by Black Hole Flare That Strikes Twice from Same Star

Astronomers Stunned by Black Hole Flare That Strikes Twice from Same Star

Astronomers have been left baffled by a cosmic discovery that defies longstanding theories about how stars interact with supermassive black holes. A powerful flare, linked to a star being torn apart by a black hole, was observed twice—two years apart—by a team of researchers led by Tel Aviv University. This phenomenon challenges current understandings of tidal disruption events and raises …

This Colossal Space Cloud is Pouring Gas Into the Milky Way’s Heart—Scientists Stunned

Astronomers have identified a vast, previously unknown structure in our galaxy that could change how scientists understand star formation and the flow of matter in the Milky Way. Known as the Midpoint cloud, this enormous giant molecular cloud spans roughly 200 light-years, or about 650 trillion miles, and appears to serve as a major conduit feeding material from the galaxy’s …
