Astronomers have reported an unusually high-energy event that may represent a rare form of black hole feeding. The transient, named EP250702a, was fir.

Astronomers at MIT, Columbia University, and elsewhere have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to peer through the dust of nearby galaxies and into the aftermath of a black hole’s stellar feast.

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star ventures too close to a supermassive black hole and is gravitationally torn apart by tidal forces. The resulting stellar debris forms an accretion disc ...

Unlike active galaxies that constantly pull in surrounding material, these black holes lie dormant, waking briefly to feast on a passing star. (Nanowerk News) Astronomers at MIT, Columbia University, ...
