- Some massive stars don't explode in a supernova - they collapse straight into a black hole instead. This Hubble image shows a star before it flared in brightness in 2009, and then vanished, leaving only a faint infrared glow. There's likely a black hole there now. https://hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/2017/news-2017-19.html?year=2017&topic=107-cosmic-wonders 12 comments space
- Astronomers may have seen a star gulp down a black hole or neutron star and explode, leaving behind a balck hole. It's the first solid evidence of a rare double cosmic cannibalism. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/astronomy-star-swallow-black-hole-supernova-cosmology?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=r_science 11 comments science
- Simulations reveal an unusual death for ancient stars: Scientists found that there is a narrow window where supermassive stars could explode completely instead of becoming a supermassive black hole—no one has ever found this mechanism before http://cs.lbl.gov/news-media/news/2014/simulations-reveal-an-unusual-death-for-ancient-stars/ 8 comments science
- Gravitational Wave Kicks Monster Black Hole Out of Galactic Core (Researchers estimate that it took the equivalent energy of 100 million supernovas exploding simultaneously to jettison the black hole!!!) https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/gravitational-wave-kicks-monster-black-hole-out-of-galactic-core 5 comments space
- Astronomers have been baffled by the disappearance of a massive star they had been observing. They wonder whether the distant object collapsed to form a black hole without exploding in a supernova. Alternatively, the object's brightness might have dipped because it is partially obscured by dust. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-53235909 3 comments space
- Not long ago, the center of the Milky Way exploded: "A titanic, expanding beam of energy sprang from close to the supermassive black hole in the centre of the Milky Way just 3.5 million years ago, sending a cone-shaped burst of radiation through both poles of the Galaxy and out into deep space." https://phys.org/news/2019-10-center-milky.html 12 comments space
- The center of our galaxy is a frenzy of activity. A behemoth black hole—4 million times as massive as the sun—blasts out energy as it chows down on interstellar detritus while neighboring stars burst to life and subsequently explode. https://phys.org/news/2019-03-giant-x-ray-chimneys-exhaust-vents.html 26 comments space
- For the first time, astronomers have captured solid evidence of a rare double cosmic cannibalism — a star swallowing a compact object such as a black hole or neutron star. In turn, that object gobbled the star’s core, causing it to explode and leave behind only a black hole https://www.sciencenews.org/article/astronomy-star-swallow-black-hole-supernova-cosmology 30 comments science
- Exactly what determines whether a star explodes as a supernova or collapses into a black hole isn’t clear. “The actual physics of the supernova explosion is a huge unknown,” said Thompson. The black hole mass gap “could be a vital clue to that process.” https://www.quantamagazine.org/black-hole-mass-gap-gets-filled-by-new-discoveries-20210127/ 3 comments space
- Hubble watched a failed supernova turn into a black hole before its very eyes. These so-called "massive fails" (seriously) are thought to occur when the core of a star is so massive the exploding shell of gas cannot escape, and instead collapses back in on itself. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2017/05/black-hole-sun 1417 comments space

- Black holes are probably responsible for some mysterious gamma-rays that our satellites pick up, but when it comes to the mysterious empty-sky GRBs, the hungry holes are simply not necessary; exploding stars in faraway corners of the universe are sufficient to explain the phenomenon. https://www.space.com/empty-sky-gamma-ray-burst-supernova-emissions 2 comments space
