Incredible... What a sight!!!

The black hole itself is enormous, potentially four times the size of the one at the center of the Milky Way, according to NASA. Even more incredibly, the massive hole seems to be shooting matter out of its center at 80 to 90 percent of the speed of light.

I can only imagine the impact if it hits anything!!!

I had to watch the video a few times to fully grasp what happened to that star. I've never heard of this happening.

wow, what a force...........to suck up a star like that

That was pretty cool. I wonder what is on the inside of a black hole?

[Joker]

A black hole is the remnants of a dead star more massive than our sun. It drew in that star because of its intense field of gravity. Reach the event horizon at its edge and there is no escape and anything that enters is instantly destroyed. That being said, I prefer to keep that thought as far from my mind as possible. Pretty scary thought.

From what I understand matter can't be destroyed though

I think it's energy that can't be destroyed. I'll do my research though because you may be right about that as well.

I think it can be transformed

The law of Conservation of Energy states energy cannot be created or destroyed...how it got here, I don't know, but I learned it in chemistry lol... I could be wrong though I am failing the class lol.
