In a dramatic cosmic scene, a black hole devours a portion of a distant star, before the star escapes, at least for the time being. Astronomers studied x-ray data collected by NASA and the European Space Agency, and found what appeared to be the remains of a giant red star that passed near a black hole. The hole stripped it of its outer layers, but its nucleus survived (its heart which is now a white dwarf). However, astronomers expect that the black hole will continue to devour the remains of the star little by little, so that only a small portion of it remains.
"The star will try to escape as much as he can, but there really is no escape, it is true that the black hole will devour it at a slower rate, but it will not stop," said the Dubai Future Foundation's "Observatory of the Future", quoting senior researcher from the University of Leicester, Andrew King.
He added: "The mass of the star will continue to decrease until it reaches the mass of Jupiter and less, in about a trillion years, and this will be a very slow complicated method for the formation of a planet!"
On this he said «that this event does not appear for our current telescopes except for a short period, by astronomical standards, amounting to about 2000 years, unless we are very fortunate to discover it, it is possible that we miss many of its likes.
