Astronomers use data from NASA 's Chandra X-ray Observatory to study a star that self-destructed.

The system called GRO J1655-40 contains a black hole with nearly seven times the mass of the sun and a star with about half as much mass.

The debris from the destroyed star then rained onto the companion star in orbit around it.
