A star in the Andromeda galaxy 13 times the mass of the Sun has quietly turned into a black hole after failing to go supernova.
A Black Hole born without a ‘bang’ in a nearby galaxy
Quoting from a new scientific paper: "A star in the Andromeda galaxy 13 times the mass of Earth’s Sun turned into a black hole after failing to go supernova. A team led by Columbia University astronomer Kishalay De believes a far less dramatic black hole birth that was not accompanied by a supernova was recorded by NASA’s NEOWISE mission in our neighboring galaxy 2.5 million light-years away… The report goes into a deeper examination of what might have happened. Any additional reports could also shed more ‘light’ on the subject of blackholes and nuetron stars
The theory explains how star M31-2014-DS1 brightened in infrared in 2014, dimmed sharply in 2016, and nearly vanished by 2023. A comment was made one observer is that what is being discovered appears to be completely outside what was considered the norm.
