Distant black hole is caught in the act of annihilating a star 30 Nov 2022 - 08:59 pm
This undated artist’s impression illustrates how it might look when a star approaches too close to a black hole, where the star is squeezed by the intense gravitational pull of the black hole. Some of the star’s material gets pulled in and swirls around the black hole forming the disc that can be seen in this image. In rare cases, such as this one, jets of matter and radiation are shot out from the poles of the black hole. (ESO/M.Kornmesser/Handout via REUTERS)
