New observations of black hole devouring a star reveal rapid disk formation – Science Daily
When a star passes too close to a supermassive black hole, tidal forces tear it apart, producing a bright flare of radiation as material from the star falls into the black hole. Astronomers study the light from these ‘tidal disruption events’ (TDEs) for clues…
