#Astronomers have used #NASA's #HubbleSpace Telescope to record detailed observations of a star's final moments before it was torn apart by a #blackhole. The violent encounter, also known as a "tidal disruption event," both pulls in material from the star and also shoots radiation out into the #cosmos, creating a massive donut-shaped gas cloud in the process. The star that is being devoured in NASA's observations is called AT2022dsb, and while the space agency wasn't able to photograph the star itself in great detail, Hubble's readings provided a wealth of data to create these images.
