Has a black hole really swallowed a neutron star? Some scientists believe it

Some scientists believe they have discovered the effects of an event that occurred 900 million years ago when a black hole seemed to engulf a dead star. We will tell you everything you need to know about this.

What did the researchers discover?

A team of researchers thought they found that the repercussions stemmed from the event mentioned earlier. If their results are actually accurate, it means that they discovered something that happened for the first time in history, a black hole that collided with a neutron star.

The cosmic event that leads to the conclusion that the black hole could engulf a neutron star

An extreme cosmic event called S190814bv has been detected recently. The discovery was made with the help of the laser interferometer gravitational wave observatory located in the United States and another detector placed in Italy.

The ripples they observed in space-time led scientists to believe that the neutron star had been swallowed by the black hole.

Now, we would like to give you more details about the neutron star

If you do not know what a neutron star is, we'll talk a bit about it. A neutron star is something that occurs after a supernova explosion. It is made up of neutrons and is actually the smallest and densest type of star.

Other similar events have been observed

Scientists have been able to detect other similar events in recent months, but they do not think it's the same thing that happened in situation S190814bv. In these cases, it could be a false alarm and nothing more.

Astronomers work very hard because they want to confirm the cause of the collision, the size of the objects involved and other similar facts.

That's all we have so far. We will keep you posted.
