NASA/ Massive black hole shreds passing star
This artist’s rendering illustrates new findings about a star shredded by a black hole.
When a star wanders too close to a black hole, intense tidal forces rip the star apart.
In these events, called “tidal disruptions,” some of the stellar debris is flung outward at high speed while the rest falls toward the black hole.
