Enlarged Spleen Overview. The spleen is an important organ in the immune system. It is a bean shaped structure, located in the left upper portion of the abdominal cavity, under the diaphragm, tucked in between the 9th and 11th ribs, in the mid-back.
Chandra and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope later collected data from the event's afterglow, and together the observations led astronomers to conclude that the powerful explosions can result when a black hole and a neutron star collide, producing another black hole.
However, if the black hole passed directly through the Solar System, then things get immeasurably worse. At a distance 100,000 times greater than that between Earth and the Sun, the black hole would pass through the Oort Cloud.
