Metadata
This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
Image title | Observations with Chandra (lower left image) and other X-ray observatories confirmed that a powerful X-ray outburst had occurred in the center of RX J1242-11, which appears normal in a ground-based optical image (lower right, with the white circle defining the location of the Chandra image). This X-ray outburst, one of the most powerful ever detected in a galaxy, is evidence for the catastrophic destruction of a star that wandered too close to a supermassive black hole. The illustration (top) shows how, after a close encounter with another star, the doomed star (orange circle) takes a path toward the giant black hole where the black hole's enormous gravity stretches the star until it is torn apart. Only a few percent of the disrupted star's mass (indicated by the white stream) is swallowed by the black hole, while the rest is flung away into the surrounding galaxy. |
