NASA's Swift Observatory revealed twin 'monster' black holes devouring a gas cloud in a distant galaxy, creating recurring ...

Astronomers, using data from NASA’s Swift Observatory, have identified an extraordinary recurring signal from two massive black holes in a galaxy a billion light-years away. Known as AT 2021hdr, this ...

One idea was that AT 2021hdr was a tidal disruption event (TDE) ,] where a star strays too close to a black hole and is ripped apart. This can create periodic bursts as the stellar remnant orbits the ...

In March 2021, astronomers observed a high-energy burst of light from a distant galaxy. Assigned the name AT 2021hdr, it was thought to be a supernova. However, there were enough interesting features ...

They then explored the idea that a tidal disruption event—a star being destroyed after getting too close to one of the black ...

For the first time, NASA’s Swift Observatory has observed twin black holes disrupting a gas cloud in a galaxy’s center, ...
