Astronomers Stunned As Mysterious Flare Repeats From Same Black Hole Two Years Later – New Study/Science Updates



A Star Being Torn Apart by a Black HoleA new discovery challenges the previously accepted understanding of how stars interact with black holes. While it’s often said that lightning never strikes the same place twice, black holes seem to defy that rule. A team of astronomers, led by researchers from Tel Aviv University, has observed a powerful flare triggered by a star being […]



Summary

Astronomers have observed a star repeatedly interacting with a supermassive black hole, challenging existing theories. The star was initially shredded during its first encounter, resulting in a bright flare. Unexpectedly, the team witnessed a second, equally powerful flare originating from the same star and black hole. This contradicts the assumption that a star is entirely consumed after the initial disruption. The discovery suggests that stars can survive encounters with black holes, potentially leaving behind a remnant that can subsequently interact, leading to repeated flare events. This sheds new light on the dynamics of star-black hole interactions.
