Stellar Destruction by Supermassive Black Hole"

In this astronomical event, a massive black hole, located at the center of a distant galaxy, tears apart a passing star. The gravitational forces exerted by the black hole are so powerful that they cause the star to be stretched and shredded into a stream of matter, forming a phenomenon known as a tidal disruption event (TDE). This spectacular cosmic event provides scientists with valuable insights into the extreme gravitational forces and high-energy processes occurring near supermassive black holes.
