In 2009, a giant star 25 times more massive than the sun disappeared from space, but new research may have an answer to what really happened. According to the British “The Sun”, the star known as N6946-BH1 has puzzled scientists since 2009, when it passed With a period of brightness, as happens in a supernova, its luminosity increased to a million suns, and then it faded away instead of exploding, according to the technology available at the time. When astronomers tried to see the star using the Large Binary Telescope, Hubble, and the Spitzer Space Telescope, they were unable to Seeing anything. However, scientists have now been able to analyze the data available thanks to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and its instruments. The study published on September 28 on the arXiv website found a new theory regarding what may have happened. Before the new data, scientists suggested that N6946 -BH1 may have collapsed into a black hole or it was a failed nova. New data shows that there are three bright sources where the star is located, and scientists now believe that the star was caused by the merger of stars. They explained that what looked like a bright star was regarding to turn into a supernova in The year 2009 was actually a star system that shines when two stars merge together. After the stars merge together, they return once more to normal, which explains why they “disappeared.” Although the data revealed new information, scientists still do not know They are able to provide an accurate explanation of what happened to the star. New images taken by the telescope using infrared imaging show a young star spewing out colored gas faster than sound. NASA explained that the colors are formed “when stellar winds or gas jets are released from these newborn stars.” “It forms shock waves that collide with nearby gas and dust at high speeds.”
