"Real-Time Observation: Birth of Black Hole from Epic Supernova"

TL;DR
Astronomers captured real-time images of a distant star going supernova, potentially leading to the birth of a black hole, in the galaxy Messier 101. The team's swift response allowed them to observe the supernova using the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory, providing valuable data for analysis. Calculations suggest that the missing mass from the explosion likely ended up in a black hole, a rare and significant finding in the study of cosmic events.
