For the first time, scientists have detected a black hole devouring a neutron star, according to a report released Monday.
Neutron stars are small yet incredibly dense stellar objects and are the collapsed remains of imploded stars. Black holes are also collapsed stars with gravity so strong that even light cannot escape their grasp. Scientists earlier this year captured the first-ever photo of a black hole.
