Their research was guided by a prediction from the 1970s: if a star collapses directly into a black hole, it should briefly glow in infrared light as it sheds its outer layers and becomes wrapped in ...

In 2014, a NASA telescope observed that the infrared light emitted by a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy gradually grew brighter. The star glowed more intensely with infrared light for around ...
