14 Black Hole Devouring Neutron

• Star Detected for the First Time Astronomers from the Australian National University (ANU) detected a black hole devouring a neutron star for the first time.
• In August 2019, gravitational-wave discovery machines in the US and Italy spotted ripples in space and time from a cataclysmic event.
• “About 900 million years ago, this black hole ate a very dense star, known as a neutron star, like Pacman - possibly snuffing out the star instantly,” said Professor Scott, Leader of the General Relativity Theory and Data Analysis Group at ANU and Chief Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav), in a ANU statement.
