Wandering Black Hole Disrupts Wandering Star in Rare Galactic Encounter
A seldom-seen cosmic event involves a wandering black hole tearing apart a wandering star, occurring approximately once every 100,000 years.
A wandering black hole and a wandering star met in a remote region of a galaxy, resulting in a rare encounter. The black hole's immense gravity pulled on one side of the star, a process known as "spaghettification," which extracted a stream of gas from the star. This gas eventually formed a disk around the black hole. Such events are estimated to happen once every 100,000 years.
