Hubble discovered the donut-shaped star

The device captured the process of how a black hole tore apart one of the galaxy’s stars, stretching it and forming “remains” in a stellar “doughnut” the size of the solar system.

The Hubble telescope stumbled upon a donut-shaped star. At the same time, it was swallowed by a black hole. NASA report.

First, the star passed close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. Then its outer gases are drawn into the black hole’s gravitational field. Subsequently, it was torn apart, and its remnants were drawn into a donut-shaped ring around the black hole and fell into it, releasing large amounts of light and high-energy radiation in the process.

According to scientists, such phenomena occur only a few times every 100,000 years.

“These events are referred to as ‘tidal disturbances’. Hubble was unable to capture the event up close because the engulfing star is about 300 million light-years away from the core of the galaxy ESO 583-G004,” the astronomers said.

The process of swallowing a star

Recall that Hubble previously took a picture of the open star cluster NGC 1858 in the satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, which is located at a distance of about 160 thousand light years from Earth and contains many large stars that shine brightly in the center of the image. .
