"A catastrophic event" .. Spotted a black hole devouring a neutron star

A disastrous event spotted August 14 was recorded by specialized machines, according to scientists at the Australian National University.
A black hole devouring a neutron star has been detected, causing ripples in space and time, scientists said, pointing out that it was the first time that such a case was detected .
The Australian National University, which participated in the research, said that this "disastrous event" discovered on August 14, 2019 was made with devices and tools to detect the "gravitational wave" in the United States and Italy , according to Fox News News.
The devices detected ripples in the space and time of an event located about 8.6 billion kilometers from Earth, said the university in a statement, adding that "the Neutron stars and black holes are dense remains of dead stars ".
The university said in a statement that scientists are still studying the data to determine the size of the bodies involved in this violent astronomical event.
"About 900 million years ago, this black hole swallowed a very dense star, defined as a neutron star, like Pac-Man, and immediately extinguished it," said Susan Scott. responsible for general relativity and data analysis at the university.
According to the university release, the preliminary results indicate a "very high probability" that a black hole devours a neutron star.
"Scientists have never discovered a black hole of less than five solar masses, nor a neutron star about 2.5 times that of our Sun," said Scott, senior scientist at the Center of Excellence for the gravitational discovery (OzGrav) of the Australian Research Council. We are very confident that we have just discovered a black hole devouring a neutron star. "
But Scone also acknowledged that there was also a small possibility that the black hole of the event was not dense and could be "very light".
The LEGO Observatory, or Laser Intervention Observatory, led by the University of California Tech and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also managed by the Virgo Observatory near Pisa, Italy, has been discovering this disastrous astronomical event.
