Jaw Dropping Observations of Black Hole Devouring a Star Reveal Rapid Disk Formation – SciTechDaily

First clear confirmation of accretion disk formation in a tidal disruption event without x-ray emissions supports theoretical predictions. When a star passes too close to a supermassive black hole, tidal forces tear it apart, producing a bright flare of radia…
