Do Black Holes Help Stars Form?
The center of just about every galaxy is thought to host a black hole, some with masses of thousands of millions of Suns and consequently strong gravitational pulls that disrupt material around them.

Dodging Black Hole Bullets
In mid-2009 a binary star system cataloged as H H1743–322 shot off something very unusual. Poised about 28,000 light years distant in the direction of the constellation of Scorpius, this rather ordinary system made up of a normal star and unknown mass black hole was busy exchanging mass. The pair orbits in mere days with [...]

Top 100 Stories of 2011: #14: Astronomers Watch Black Hole Devour Star | DISCOVER Magazine
Black holes have a reputation for destruction but it was only in 2011 that scientists caught one in the act, watching it devour an errant star. In March NASA’s Swift satellite detected a gamma-ray burst, an eruption of high-energy radiation that usually indicates a stellar explosion. But whereas most bursts last only seconds, this one kept on going. Josh Bloom, an astronomer at the University of ...

Astronomers discover black hole using sun-like star to fire energy bullets
Pictured above is a fascinating find brought to the American Astronomical Society’s annual meeting by researchers. The image depicts a black hole named H1742-322 that is intermittently shooting projectiles made of ionized gas at incredible speeds out of both sides of its disc. When we say incredible, we mean that the gas bullets are travelling [...]
