TIDAL DISRUPTION · a star unraveled
A sunlike star wandered too close to a supermassive black hole and was stretched into a thin stream of gas, an effect researchers genuinely call spaghettification. Caught early and nearby, this event let astronomers watch the whole process: half the star swallowed, half blown outward in a glowing shroud. A quiet galaxy, briefly lit by one star's spectacular end.
