Black Star is a rap duo consisting of Talib Kweli and Yassin Bey (formerly Mos Def.) Bey and Kweli first met through cyphers at New York City’s Washington Square Park in the early 1990s.

The destruction of a star by the gravitational forces of a supermassive black hole is a violent affair known as a tidal disruption event (TDE). Gas is torn from the star and undergoes ...

A star in a nearby galaxy has been spotted being almost destroyed by a supermassive black hole not just once, but twice — and could have another brush with destruction soon 1. Almost every large ...

Black holes are invisible except when they devour nearby stars, so astronomers watch for what they call a tidal disruption event (TDE), which describes a star being torn apart by a black hole.Very ...

What happens when a star wanders too close to a supermassive black hole?The obvious story is that it gets sucked in, never to be seen again. Some of its material gets superheated on the way in ...

The neutron star featured in this latest paper is a pulsar, PSR J0952-0607—or J0952 for short—located in the constellation Sextans between 3,200 and 5,700 light-years away from Earth.

According to the data, a star had come too close to a massive black hole and been ripped apart. Its stellar guts spiraled inward, heating up and glowing brightly across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Now, about a year later, we know it's the first tidal disruption event—meaning a star being ripped apart by a supermassive black hole—identified at visual wavelengths.

Why Some Black Holes Keep ‘Burping’ Light after Eating a Star After black holes devour stars, sometimes the feast comes back up. Yvette Cendes. Tue, June 17, 2025 at 1:00 PM UTC.

While black hole pulsars had been previously conjectured, the simulation is the first to show how such a rare object could actually form in nature from the collision of a neutron star and a black ...
