Complete Stellar Collapse: Unusual Star System Shows Quiet Death of Stars
Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 22, 2024
University of Copenhagen astrophysicists have presented evidence that massive stars can collapse into black holes without a supernova explosion. Their study focused on a binary star system, VFTS 243, which suggests that stars can completely collapse under their own gravity. Massive stars usually end their lives in supernova explosions, ejecting energy and mass into space. However, this new
