Tidal disruption involves death by spaghettification of a nearby star to a black hole Spaghettification occurs when a star is devoured by a black hole Astronomers can now better understand how ...

Astronomers have witnessed an extremely rare occurrence: the end of a star's life, as it's obliterated by a supermassive black hole. And this particular star's collapse was even more unique, because ...

This illustration depicts a star experiencing spaghettification as it’s sucked in by a supermassive black hole. Credit: ESO / M. Kornmesser Spaghettification sounds like a particularly unpleasant ...

Astronomers have spotted a rare and radiant pulse of light—the last gasp of a dying star that has been sucked toward the center of a supermassive black hole and shredded into sinuous strings of ...

Scientists have spotted a supermassive hole "sucking in" a star around 215 million light-years from Earth, causing it to be "spaghettified." The term spaghettification term describes the bizarre ...

Picture yourself drifting in space, caught in the pull of a black hole. The idea feels like pure science fiction, yet physicists have spent decades calculating what would really happen if a human fell ...
