Astronomers watched as a galaxy with the forgettable name SDSS1335+0728 suddenly sprang to life when its massive black hole ...

Astronomers searching for massive black holes shredding stars found one in an unusual place -- 2,600 light years from the core of a galaxy. The roque black hole may be from an earlier merger with ...

Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole eating a star. This happened far from the center of its galaxy. The event, ...

UC Berkeley astronomers discovered a rogue black hole devouring a star 2,600 lightyears from its galaxy's core — the first ...

Astronomers have detected a rare black hole outside a galaxy’s core devouring a star in the first known offset tidal ...

In a cosmic first, astronomers observed a supermassive black hole consuming a star. This happened outside the core of its ...

What is Space Jaws? A covert black hole revealed itself to astronomers in 2025 with a spectacular burst of radiation known as ...

It gave away its presence by unleashing a powerful flare. This flash came from a tidal disruption event, or TDE. In simple terms, a star got too close and was ripped apart. The force of gravity ...

This event is the first identified offset Tidal Disruption Event (TDE) recorded. A one million-solar-mass black hole resides outside its host galaxy's centre. In a scene straight out of a sci-fi ...

NASA's Hubble captured a rare event 600 million light-years away: a black hole devouring a star in a Tidal Disruption Event (TDE). This "offset" TDE, named AT2024tvd, suggests the black hole isn't ...

The space agency's Hubble Space Telescope captured the astronomical event, called a Tidal Disruption Event (TDE), and also confirmed it with observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the ...

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. It's also a rather ...
