Black Hole
Astrophysicists have spotted a black hole "eating" a star.
According to a recent study published by the European INTEGRAL space observatory, a supermassive black hole has just consumed a large planetary body somewhere in a spiral galaxy named NGC 4845.
Astronomers studying supermassive black holes say they have accurately measured how fast the mysterious consumers of space matter spin.
Currents of gamma-ray gas are flowing from the core of the Milky Way galaxy outward, and scientists using the Parkes telescope in Australia suggest that the residue is expelled by ancient supernovas, contrary to popular belief that a black hole fueled the phenomenon.

A supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy seems to be too light - and scientists are trying to figure out why.
Near the center of the Milky Way lies a star swiftly orbiting a nearby black hole which, according to scientists, may hold the key to testing Einstein's theory of relativity.
