Instead of becoming a black hole through the expected process of a supernova, the black hole candidate formed through a \"failed supernova.\" The team used NASA's Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes and the Large Binocular Telescope to observe and monitor the star throughout the past decade. If confirmed, this would be the first time anyone has witnessed the birth of a black hole and the first discovery of a failed supernova.
