- In a bone-chilling event, astronomers caught a star swallowing a nearby black hole, or perhaps a neutron star, and then getting eaten by its own meal. The resulting spectacular explosion left behind a black hole. Such a star-eat-star supernova has been theorized, but was never observed. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/astronomy-star-swallow-black-hole-supernova-cosmology 18 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
- Astronomers may have seen a star gulp down a black hole or neutron star and explode, leaving behind a balck hole.
