NASA messive black hole shreds

NASA has been studying massive black holes in various galaxies. These black holes have the power to shred stars that get too close due to their intense gravitational pull. Such events are called "tidal disruption events" (TDEs). When a star gets too close to a massive black hole, the tidal forces can tear it apart, creating a bright flare of radiation as the star's material spirals into the black hole.

These events are of great interest to astronomers as they provide valuable insights into the behavior of massive black holes and the processes involved in the destruction and consumption of stars. By studying TDEs, scientists can learn more about the properties of black holes and their impact on the surrounding galaxies.
