NASA unveiled rendered footage revealing what happened when black hole swallowed stars

When the star approached the black hole, there was a big difference in the gravitational force on the side close to the star black hole and on the far side, the star was broken into pieces from the near side and fell to the black hole, the gaseous disk was black It is thought that it occurs around the hole and X-rays are generated over several years from the center, and this phenomenon is called "tide fracture". Until 2015, it was confirmed that tide fracture occurred, but the process of its occurrence was not clarified. However, an investigation team led by an astronomer succeeded in observing the tide fracture and released an animated image rendered by NASA.

After the stars are sucked in by the powerful gravity, the debris falling into the black hole is heated to millions of degrees and radiates intense X-rays. X-rays radiated in an extremely high temperature extreme state emit light short in wavelength, and as the debris of stars falls down the horizon of the event, the light becomes weaker and weaker. At this time, gas is generated and sucked in as drawing a spiral towards the center of the black hole, but the process of this phenomenon remained enveloped in mystery.


However, the project "All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae" led by Dr. Jon M. Miller of the University of Michigan Astronomy Division and Dr. Jelle Kaastra of the Netherlands Space Research Institute, etc. watches at different wavelengths using three X-ray telescopes Successful observation of tidal fracture occurrence process by. This time it was observed at the center of the galaxy "PGC 043234" located at a distance of 290 million light years from the earth, a tidal destruction occurred at black holes of millions of times the mass of the sun, It occurred in the place closest to the earth in decades. Actually the tide fracture occurred in November 2014.

Dr. Miller of the University of Michigan who led the project "There is a lot of evidence that tides are destroyed and there has been a lot of discussion on what is happening at the time of the tide fracture and this time it was observed The tide destruction was the best opportunity I have ever seen to understand what actually happens. "

NASA has released animation images that reproduce the tide fracture by rendering the observation data collected by the project and it is quite understandable to understand what is happening at the time of tide fracture occurrence.

It is hard to see, but there is a black hole in the red frame of the image.


A star brilliant from behind toward this side tries to pass by the side of the black hole.


When the distance between the star and the black hole becomes short, the star begins to be sucked from the side closer to the black hole by strong gravity.


A star sucked in while being shattered.


I will draw a circle and fall into the black hole.


When you are sucking stars you will be bright and you can see the full picture of the black hole.


A disk made of the remnants of stars appears.


And blue light is emitted from the center.


The blue light gets dark ... ...


While repeating brightening, something like gas came out from the center.


It is said that the state of light emission will last for several years.
