A new video from NASA helps people better understand how black holes eat stars, and highlights the best-known black holes.
that does a great job of visualizing the slow spiral of a black hole eating a star. The video is meant to showcase the best-known black hole systems. In it, NASA showcases multiple systems where a star has been caught in a black hole’s gravitational pull. It’s a stark reminder of just how murderous these iconic celestial entities are.
Of course, the visualizations of the black holes eating stars are larger than they actually are. That’s because NASA has scaled its spheres to reflect the mass of each black hole. Previously, we’ve even seen NASA says that black holes have two primary ways of siphoning energy from the stars that orbit them. The first way can be seen in the visualization of A0620-00 that I mentioned previously. In this visual, NASA has illustrated the star as a teardrop shape to showcase a direct flow of energy being pulled into the black hole as it eats away at the star.
