Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of astrophysics, observing a black hole that may have formed without the intense explosion of a supernova. According to recent findings, this black hole is believed to have formed as a result of the collapse of a large star's core without the characteristic supernova blast. This phenomenon challenges longstanding beliefs about black hole formation, suggesting that there may be a less intense process at play. The discovery of this silent black hole, which is gravitationally bound to two other stars, has significant implications for our understanding of how black holes come into existence. It is possible that other black holes may be hiding quietly in plain sight, and this discovery may reshape our understanding of these mysterious celestial bodies. The findings have been reported by The Tribune and Dawn, highlighting the importance of continued research in the field of astrophysics.
