A Star Gets Torn Apart: First Ever Recorded 'Death By Black Hole' In A Dwarf Galaxy

Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory observed what they describe as the death of a star at the hands of black hole. A flare seen in a dwarf galaxy 800 million light-years from Earth, inside the Abell 1795 galaxy cluster, in 1999 was not seen again after 2005 which leads astronomers to conclude the X-ray source was a black hole destroying a star.
