VIVA – Recently, the cosmic has revealed the gruesome details of black hole which is eating other celestial bodies.
In a new study, astronomers are studying destruction bintang supermassive action by black holes, revealing how these cosmic giants consume matter from objects that venture too close to them.
This terrifying scenario occurred 215 million light years from Earth and was first observed in October 2019 and is the result of a sun-like star being destroyed by a black hole more than 1 million times its mass. SpaceThursday, July 21, 2022.
This is the closest example of a stellar object “formed” by the massive tidal force produced by a black hole that astronomers have ever seen.
This so-called tidal disturbance event (TDE) occurred in a spiral galaxy in the constellation Eridanus and it is the first event of its kind that is bright enough in visible light to allow astronomers to study the details of what happens to the material from the star after it is sliced by a hole. black.
By observing the polarization of light from the event, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, concluded that most of the stellar material was blasted from the black hole at speeds of up to 22 million mph (35 million kph).
This explosion?, named AT2019qiz, created a cloud of gas that new observations of polarized light suggest is spherical in symmetry. This gas cloud is 200 times as wide as the average distance from Earth to the Sun. This means its radius is 100 times larger than the planet’s orbit, and its outer edge is about 930 million miles (1.5 billion kilometers) from the center of the black hole.
