Hubble Finds Hungry Black Hole Twisting Captured Star Into Donut Shape
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have recorded a star's final moments in detail as it gets gobbled up by a black hole.Andrea Gianopoulos (NASA)
Hubble recorded a star's final moments as it was ripped apart and eaten up by a black hole – getting twisted into a donut-like shape in the process.
