Astronomers said that the new discovery raised questions about their presumed knowledge of how such binary star systems evolved. The progenitor of this black hole must have been a star of about 20 solar masses. According to the leading theories, the star’s death and the subsequent black hole formation would have involved a supernova explosion and other processes that would have severely disrupted the other, smaller star in the system. So why does the other star appear so normal?
