Researchers at MIT have uncovered 18 new instances of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs), where stars are violently pulled apart by nearby black holes. This significant discovery was made possible through analyzing NEOWISE satellite telescope data. | Interesting Engineering

• Supercomputer Simulations Test Star-destroying Black Holes 3.12.2021 VIDEO: Watch eight model stars stretch and deform as they approach a virtual black hole 1 million times the mass of the Sun. The black hole’s gravity rips some stars apart into a stream of gas, a phenomenon called a tidal disruption event. Others manage to withstand their close encounters. These simulations show that destruction and survival depend on the stars’ initial densities. Yellow represents the greatest densities, blu
