Black Hole Video: Star eaten ‘hungry’ black hole, new ‘solar system’ made of dust, watch amazing video with the help of Hubble – watch video hungry black hole captures star donut like shape sees hubble telescope

Such events are called Tidal Disruption Events. Astronomers are using Hubble to find out what happens when a wandering star falls into its gravitational field. NASA has shared the results on social media, in which a supermassive black hole can be seen turning into a ‘doughnut’ after destroying a neighboring star. The size of this donut was as big as a solar system.

The explosion happened 300 million light years away

Hubble cannot see AT2022dsb’s tidal event up close because the star engulfing the black hole is located at the center of the galaxy ESO 583-G004, about 300 million light-years away. But astronomers used Hubble’s powerful ultraviolet sensitivity to study the light from the collapsed star. Spectroscopy provides forensic evidence of black hole hunting. NASA has shared the animation of this incident on Twitter.

Donut was once a star

The AT2022dsb event was first detected on 1 March 2022 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae, a network of ground-based telescopes. The collision was close enough to Earth and bright enough for Hubble astronomers to perform ultraviolet spectroscopy. Hubble spectroscopic data can be seen in the animation as a bright, hot doughnut-shaped region of what was once a star.
