A star revolving around a Black Hole

A star revolving around a Black Hole


A black hole has been found with a binary companion star so close that the star makes one complete orbit every 2.4 hours - that means it circles the black hole 600 times faster than a rifle bullet! Not only that, but the star's fate is not a happy one because It will eventually be torn apart by the black hole.
