Imagine a huge explosion in space, upsetting astronomers' methods to explain it. This event springs to sight when a probe and a swarm of telescopes and space probes witness something bizarre It might have been a gamma ray explosion? Maybe the explosion was a dying star. Or a black hole eating a star was ejected from space. There's a theory that it may be unknown phenomena. An international group of astronomers tries to figure it out. Known theories of black holes outside of earth have anything but mass. Black holes are powerful due to their gravitational influence. They can squash and stretch a star. Black holes generate plasma from ripped-up stars forming a noodle-like strand called spaghettification They make a flattened accretion disk, where the star death is fed into the black hole But only 1% of black holes is not like the other 99 percent. Black holes turn jets to a jet of space rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic rays in the universe. It may have to do with the research that NASA is doing. . Researchers are excited to chase the next weird explosion.
