Black hole puts dent in space-time MSNBC - January 25, 2006
A spinning black hole in the constellation Scorpius has created a stable dent in the fabric of space-time, scientists say. The dent is the sort of thing predicted by Albert Einsteinšs theory of general relativity. It affects the movement of matter falling into the black hole.The space-time dent is invisible, but scientists deduced its existence after detecting two X-ray frequencies from the black hole that were identical to emissions noted nine years ago. The finding will allow scientists to calculate the black holešs spin, a crucial measurement necessary for describing the object's behavior.

Black hole tears star apart BBC - February 2004


Scientists think the doomed star drifted too close to a giant black hole and gradually fell under the influence of its enormous gravity. The tidal forces of the black hole pulled on the star, stretching it until it tore apart. The black hole then swallowed some of the matter left behind causing a flare of X-rays that was detected on Earth.
