Accidental Discovery Challenges Our Understanding of Black Hole Formation

Astronomers have stumbled upon a rare "black hole triple" system, comprising a massive void and two stars. This unique configuration suggests that the black hole didn't form through a supernova explosion as previously thought. Instead, researchers propose it could have formed via the gradual collapse of a massive star. This finding challenges our understanding of how singularities arise and may have implications for the origins of many black holes.
