Black Holes Swallow Neutron Stars in a Single Bite, New Results Suggest Astrophysicists identified two neutron stars colliding with each other and gravity observed by thr black hole. Astronomers Spot Collision of a Black Hole & a Neutron Star.Two Neutron Stars Being Swallowed by Black Holes (CG) Two Neutron Stars Being Swallowed by Black Holes In January last year, astronomers definitively observed, for the first time, a black hole swallowing a dead star, like a raven devouring roadkill. Then 10 days later, they saw the same act of scavenging happen again in a different, distant sector of the cosmos. Those triumphs, reported in a paper published on Tuesday in Astrophysical Journal Letters, are the latest in the still nascent field of gravitational astronomy, which is detecting the literal stretching and scrunching of space-time caused by some of the most cataclysmic events in the universe. “It’s the first time that we’ve actually been able to detect a ...
