Scary, Feasting Black Hole Star

Scary, Feasting Black Hole Star - LOS ANGELES - Astronomers who think solved the mystery of an unusual glint in the galaxy far as to say, the flash comes from massive black holes that gobble up stars. Like what?

The energy was incredible the first time NASA's Swift satellite detected on 28 March. Then, the existence of this energy is certainly the spacecraft and telescopes on Earth. Initially, some scientists thought it was a flash of gamma-ray burst of shooting stars.

However, the flashes of the shooting stars usually only last a few hours. In a flash, the flash does not disappear but continue shining brighter and continues to emit high energy radiation a few months later.

After examining the data, scientists concluded, the unexpected star-sized black hole about the size of the sun is absorbed strongly. When black holes suck the star, radiated energy beam to Earth telescopes recorded. 'Star party' took place in the heart of the galaxy 3.8 billion light years from Earth (one light year is about six trillion miles).

"Obviously, different events than we've ever seen," says astronomer Joshua Bloom at the University of California, Berkeley who classify these rare events.

The black hole itself is a super-dense core of galaxies that suck spin anything around her.

Until now, how to grow the size is still a mystery. Scientists thought, new observations could help to understand how galaxies formed. The findings are published in the journal Science.
