Black hole eats a star

Black hole eats a star
Quote:Supermassive black hole seen eating star for the first ever time

Scientists have seen the vast blast thrown out by a black hole eating a star for the first ever time.

Researchers have finally watched the formation and expansion of the fast-moving jet of material that is thrown out when a supermassive black hole's gravity grabs a star and tears it apart.

Scientists watched the dramatic event using highly specialised telescopes, which are trained on a pair of colliding galaxies called Arp 299, nearly 150 million light-years from Earth. At the centre of one of those galaxies, a star twice the size of the Sun came too close to a black hole that is more than 20 million times big as our Sun – and was shredded apart, throwing a blast across the universe.

Yes, that is no doubt the result of fine tuning.

Babies die from cancer. That's another example of fine tuning.

Yummie!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Another Q died ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

A Q has to die for the smaller elements to cool and create beings to worship the greater God.

Does a black hole get indigestion if it eats a star?
Dying to live, living to die.
