NASA Massive Black Hole Shreds Passing Star//DXBDUBA1

When a star passes too close to a supermassive black hole, the intense gravitational forces from the black hole can lead to a process known as "tidal disruption." In this scenario, the black hole's gravity can deform and stretch the star, causing it to be torn apart. This event can release a significant amount of energy in the form of X-rays and other electromagnetic radiation, which can be detected by telescopes and observatories.
