This is what astronomers discovered near Earth – Metro World News Brasil

In 2020, astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) discovered a so-called black hole in the HR 6819 system. Until then, it was the closest chain to the planet Earth.

Two years after the discovery, additional investigations confirmed that the black hole never existed, as detailed on the Meganoticias website.

According to an article published in Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysicsastronomers with new data have found that HR 6819 is actually a binary system without a black hole.

With that, he gets along with two “vampires”, which ends up impressing the team.

It wasn’t a black hole, it was ‘vampire stars’

When it unfolded, a first study claimed that it was supposed to be a black hole. Already with some information, another team suggested that HR 6819 could be a two-star system.

In an instant, the experts reached the limit of the existing data. So that was to resort to a different monitoring strategy to choose between the two scenarios.

As detailed by Meganoticias, further investigations revealed that HR 6819 was a binary system without a black hole.

The best explanation so far is that this binary system was observed shortly after a star sucked the atmosphere from its companion star.

Also, according to the information, in this way it will be possible to investigate how the “vampire” affects the development of massive stars and the formation of the phenomena associated with them.
