NASA telescope catches star being 'swallowed' by black hole

A publication by NASA, the famous North American space agency, made this last Thursday, 19, about an astronomical event captured by the Hubble Telescope took many people by surprise and left those in love per astronomy in ecstasy. A star that has been completely swallowed by a black hole.

Hubble recorded star being absorbed

In fact, NASA is the largest space agency in the world.

The last news published by the agency were images captured by the Hubble Telescope referring to the last moments of a star before it was “swallowed” by a frightening black hole.

Through the images, it is possible to perceive that the gravitational field of the hole is so strong that it was able to pull the star into it, even though it was approximately 300 million years away. light-years. As most phenomena are given a name, this one could not be different.

For scientists, the event became known as a “tidal disturbance”.

Something like this only happens when the gravitational force of a black hole is able to pull the stellar material. He ends up releasing a strong radiation after that. That event itself has been named AT2022dsb and is happening millions of light-years away in the center of galaxy ESO 583-G004.

As you can imagine, the telescope has something different. Thanks to its ultraviolet light sensors, Hubble was able not only to display but to capture the images. Through the telescope's spectroscopy system, the scientists were able to discover more information, such as the presence of hydrogen and carbon there.

According to NASA, events like this are difficult to "find", as it is possible to observe only the beginning of this interruption. They even said that the program they use is different because it was designed to observe tidal events over an entire year.

After this event and the Hubble captures, scientists will be able to understand more about such events. According to NASA, so far, only one hundred episodes of tidal disturbance have been recorded.
