"Spaghetti Devoured: Black Hole's Scary Barbie Act"

Astronomers have discovered a black hole, nicknamed "Scary Barbie," that is devouring a star in a process called "spaghettification." The object, initially unnoticed, was identified through machine learning algorithms analyzing archival data. Scary Barbie is the most energetic and luminous transient object ever observed, with a duration unlike anything seen before. While most transient objects fade within weeks or months, Scary Barbie has been active for over two years. This discovery highlights the growing role of machine learning in astronomy and its ability to uncover hidden celestial phenomena.

"Spaghetti Devoured: Black Hole's Scary Barbie Act"

Astronomers have discovered a black hole, nicknamed "Scary Barbie," that is devouring a star in a process known as "spaghettification." The black hole's incredible brightness and energy make it the most luminous transient object ever observed. The discovery was made possible by a machine learning algorithm that analyzed archival data. Scary Barbie has been active for over two years, defying the typical fading pattern of transient objects. This finding highlights the growing role of machine learning in astronomy.

"Supermassive Black Hole Devours Giant Star in Spectacular Display"

Astronomers have discovered a remote object, named "Scary Barbie," which is one of the longest, brightest, and most energetic cosmic explosions ever observed. It was born from the final death throes of a star being torn to shreds by a supermassive black hole. Scary Barbie is much brighter than any other transient event the astronomers could compare it to, and it has already burned incandescently for more than two years, with no indication it will sputter out. Further observations of Scary Barbie could enable astronomers to snap some high-resolution images of the incredibly rare cosmic outburst.
