A supermassive black hole has been apprehended in the act of devouring a star. In March 2011, NASA's SWIFT satellite saw intense, mysterious gamma ray bursts. Now scientists have figured out what happened a long time ago in that galaxy far, far away. Credit: SPACE.com/NASA/Swift/Music: Atom Strange www.atomstrange.com & John Serrie

  • it's like i heard when watching this video "MUAHAHA IM BACK STAR NIGGA!!!" i screamed my but off

  • what if a black hole tried to consume another black hole......I think it just makes a larger one but what if it exploded or something.....that'd be cool and bad.

  • @MrIHaveNoName10 "the story i read said black holes are too far away from our galaxy.. "

    Well that would be a story. In reality we have a super massive black hole in the centre of our galaxy at the site of Sagittarius A*. With possibly hundreds of thousands more scattered through out our galaxy.

  • would be a black hole to pass through the side all the corrupt politicians.

  • @MrIHaveNoName10 astrophysicists don't just look through telescopes. there is obviously science working and predictions that can be made, even from a pinpoint of light. computer models for example can provide visual represesntations. there of course may be another piece of data that shows something previously unknown, so they don't really 'know' how it looks but the representation is usually as close as we can get, and that is quite close. real footage may of course be no more than a dot.

  • @SuperMax328 What else would it be? Even if you saw it, how could you be sure that your interpretation of the observation is true? Direct observation is ofcourse better than indirect, but it doesn't change that all theory is educated guesses and might be wrong
