Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of astrophysics, uncovering a black hole that formed without the characteristic supernova blast that typically accompanies such an event. This phenomenon is a rare occurrence, as black holes are usually born from the collapse of massive stars that explode in a supernova explosion. However, in this case, the black hole's formation was a quiet and relatively peaceful process. The black hole in question has a mass approximately 9 times greater than our sun and is gravitationally bound to two other stars. This discovery has significant implications for our understanding of the formation and evolution of black holes, and may challenge current theories on the subject. The findings were published in a recent study, with details available on The Tribune and Dawn websites.
