Overview

• Study of binary star system VFTS 243 shows black hole formation without a supernova.
• This phenomenon, known as 'complete collapse,' occurs in stars with sufficient mass.
• Researchers found no evidence of an explosion in the VFTS 243 system.
• The discovery provides a plausible explanation for stars that suddenly vanish from the sky.
• VFTS 243 is now a key case for studying stellar evolution and collapse.
