NASA's Hubble Space Telescope records black hole contorting star into donut shape
Fox News
NASA announced that astronomers had used the Hubble Space Telescope to record a star's final moments as it was violently ripped apart and eaten up by a black hole.
When a star gets close enough, the gravitational grasp of the black hole violently rips it apart, belching out intense radiation in what is known as a "tidal disruption event." Julia Musto is a reporter for Fox News and Fox Business Digital.
Astronomers are using the telescope to better understand what happens, utilizing its powerful ultraviolet sensitivity to study the light from the AT2022dsb "stellar snacking event."
