New Study Unveils Mystery Behind Vanishing Stars

Research reveals that some massive stars may collapse directly into black holes, bypassing the supernova stage.

Astronomers have observed hundreds of stars disappearing without a trace over the past 70 years.
New research suggests that some massive stars may collapse directly into black holes without a supernova explosion.
The binary system VFTS 243 provides compelling evidence for this theory, showing no signs of a supernova.
The study indicates that this direct collapse could explain the sudden disappearance of stars in the night sky.
These findings offer a crucial benchmark for future research into stellar evolution and collapse.
