Strange Flashes Could Be Signs of Closest Object Seen Near a Black Hole

A supermassive black hole in the galaxy 1ES 1927+654, located 275 million light-years from the Milky Way, has baffled astronomers with its unusual behavior.

Recent observations suggest the black hole’s fluctuations are caused by a white dwarf star orbiting dangerously close to its event horizon.

The star’s orbit is shrinking, causing rapid changes in the black hole’s X-ray emissions.

The dense white dwarf, which is likely losing material but avoiding being consumed, may eventually retreat from the black hole, Science Alert has reported.
