Hubble finds hungry black hole twisting captured star into donut shape
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Black holes are gatherers, not hunters. They lie in wait until a hapless star wanders by. When the star gets close enough, the black hole's gravitational grasp violently rips it apart and sloppily devours its gasses while belching out intense radiation.
