Galaxy in space

Supermassive black holes can feast on one star per year

ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder researchers have discovered a mechanism that explains the persistence of asymmetrical stellar clusters surrounding supermassive black holes in some galaxies and suggests that during post-galactic merger periods, orbiting stars could be flung into the black hole and destroyed at a rate of one per year.
