Have you ever witnessed something that seemed impossible to you at the time?
The world is full of bizarre and unbelievable occurrences, so it seems only right that there
is always something new to learn and a new way to analyze different scenarios
this type of phenomenon often happens in astronomy with the Advent of new and more
powerful telescopes new corners of the cosmos are brought into the light for the first time
recently a team of astronomers uncovered a new mystery that actively goes against much of what
is believed about black holes and is challenging them to revisit how they are thought to function
when we try to think about black holes images come into our minds of huge celestial objects
generating an insane amount of gravitational force that devours everything that it can get its grip
on these gravitational Giants are famous for Never Letting even a bit of matter that falls into their
clutches ever escape if something Falls Beyond The Event Horizon of a black hole it is lost
to the universe forever or so we thought a team of astronomers LED out of the Harvard and Smithsonian
Center of Astrophysics just discovered a black hole that decided it was going to break that
rule the black hole that they found was spitting out the spaghettified remnants of a star that it
had previously shredded, and absorbed years ago named at2018hyz it sits 665 million light years
from Earth and was shining bright enough for astronomers to monitor it in the visible light
spectrum for several months before it faded what was happening inside this black hole that caused
Stellar material from Beyond The Event Horizon to flow back out what happens inside a black hole
the inside of a black hole is one of the most mysterious and baffling regions of our universe
that has thus far proven extremely difficult to study one reason that scientists cannot tell for
certain what happens inside a black hole is that none of our instruments can currently probe beyond
the dark shell of the Event Horizon not only that the math and physics that scientists use
to understand and describe the universe seem to break down inside a black hole the immense gravity
strong enough to trap even light seems to make all the physical law we rely on useless in these
regions the current understanding of black holes says that the singularity at the center a point
of near infinite density creates a rip in the very fabric of space-time studies trying to figure out
what goes on inside black holes have been trying to find new ways of cracking this code for some
time and maybe finding a black hole spitting material back out May may offer some Clues
as to what happens within their black shells what did the team find working with data gathered from
the very large array radio telescope located in the desert of Sirocco New Mexico the team
to analyze a particular event associated with black holes called tidal disruption events or tdes
tdes are events that occur when one or more star gets too close to a black hole and gets trapped
the black hole causes the star to be spaghettified ripped apart down the individual atoms before
being pulled down Beyond The Event Horizon into the dark body of the black hole this process
causes the black hole to blow away a chunk of matter and release a massive amount of energy in
the form of radiation and light that can be then detected using many of the telescopes available
on Earth astronomers often look for these bright flashes of energy to locate black holes and see
which ones are actively feeding on the Stellar bodies orbiting in their systems during this
particular revisitation they noticed an unusual bright Outburst coming from a black hole that made
them want to double back and take a closer look at what was going on in this part of the cosmos
what was going on with this black hole as far as astronomers know these bright flashes happen
almost immediately after a TDE in almost every case but for the black hole at2018
hyz the emission of this material along with a chunk of energy occurred years after it last
fed on a star at first the team tried to reason for this material to come out years later maybe
the Stellar Mata got trapped in orbit around the black hole and never actually entered Beyond The
Event Horizon but this is extremely unlikely the spaghettified material from the Star could
not have remained outside of the black hole for that amount of time without being drawn
into its body which led the researchers to the only other conclusion that could be made
foreign spat out a bunch of material it had eaten years ago and the matter it blew out is going fast
astronomers have clocked the outflowing material traveling at speeds approaching half the speed of
light that means this matter is flying out into space at roughly 150 million meters per second
nearly 500 million feet per second to put that into perspective the fastest spacecraft around
NASA's new horizon would take 162 days to travel from Earth to Mars this material will make that
trip in just over six minutes speed of this material has also made astronomers want to
learn more from this discovery as the outbursts from an average TDE travel at only 10 percent
the speed of light so the fact that the material in this case was traveling five times that speed
lends a little more weight to the theory that the material came from inside the black hole and has
been influenced by some incredible forces what is the team looking for now the biggest mystery
still remaining about the outflow from at2018hyz is what was happening to the Stellar matter during
the several years it spent inside the black hole as far as science knows nothing has been inside
of a black hole and subsequently escaped making this matter very exciting to study astronomers
believe that there is a singularity at the very center of a black hole that is an Infinity tiny
point where the concepts of time and space break down to nothing but there is quite a lot of space
between a black hole Singularity and its Event Horizon and there are a number of theories as to
what the rest of this interior is like but none have been able to be tested to the full extent
now astronomers have an opportunity to study material that has been inside of a black hole
and hopefully they will be able to get some type of hints or Clues as to what goes on Beyond The
Event Horizon what will they find still have a lot to learn this study has not only given astronomers
their best look at the types of things that may happen within the most mysterious objects in our
universe but it was also proven to them once again that the Universe does not always function the way
we expect it to even when scientists think they have a rock-solid understanding of some
phenomenon there can still be certain scenarios when the universe can seemingly do the impossible
and break a rule that was longed believed to be true it seems that every year another Discovery
is made out in the cosmos that has challenged and in many cases changed the long-held belief
but that is one of the most exciting things about our universe there's always something
new to find and learn thanks for watching leave us a comment down below and let us know about
