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

Tidal disruption events occur when a black hole consumes a hapless star, ripping it apart an swallowing it in a powerful burst of radiation. The newly discovered supermassive black hole ...

But the covert black hole revealed itself to astronomers earlier in 2025 with a spectacular burst of radiation known as a tidal disruption event. The explosion was so large and so bright that ...

Using the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) onboard the International Space Station (ISS), astronomers have observed IGR J12580+0134, which is the closest tidal disruption event.

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 ...

That flare of light, a tidal disruption event recorded by telescopes on Earth, was named AT2024tvd, and its detection revealed something very peculiar about the galaxy 600 million light-years away ...

Astronomers have observed a tidal disruption event, AT2024tvd, caused by a rogue supermassive black hole devouring a star far from its galaxy's center. This marks the first time a TDE has been ...
