NASA's Hubble space telescope spotted a black hole snacking on the donut-shaped remains of a star in March of 2022.
shared on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel showcases how the black hole might shred the star remains into a circling cloud. The findings of this tidal disruption event were captured in the galaxy ESO 583-G004 during an event that NASA titled AT2022dsd. The event allowed scientists to use ultraviolet sensors to study the donut-shaped remains of the star.
Astronomers say that these kinds of events are hard to observe, as you usually tend to only get a few observations at the start of the disruption when it is bright. However, with this program, the team could look at the events over the course of a year to see what happened.
