A sleeping giant at the center of a galaxy has awoken: A **rmally dormant, monster black hole has been found shredding a star that ventured too close to the cosmic beast.
This stellar slaughter was spotted by scientists who study the X-rays bouncing around (http://www.space.com/29835-slumbering-black-hole-burps-xray-burst.html) the swirling disk of matter surrounding the giant black hole. The method used to analyze this event — named Swift J1644+57 — could help solve the mystery of how the largest black holes in the universe grew to such e**rmous sizes, the authors of the new research said.
At the core of almost every galaxy lies a monster black hole (http://www.space.com/18539-milky-way-s-supermassive-black-hole-seen-eating-something-video.html) — in some cases, the largest black holes in the universe, millions to billions of times the mass of the sun. Astro**mers think vast amounts of energy from these supermassive black holes can influence the evolution of the galaxies in which they live. Read more...
