The black hole wrapped the layers of the shredded star around itself to form the perfect doughnut of doom.
The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a star being stripped and stretched into a doughnut shape as a black hole devours it.
When a black hole feeds, its immense gravity exerts powerful tidal forces on the unfortunate star. As the star is reeled ever closer to the black hole's maw, the gravity affecting the regions of the star closer to the black hole is far stronger than that acting on the star's farside. This disparity"spaghettifies" the star into a long, noodle-like string that gets tightly wound around the black hole layer by layer, like spaghetti around a fork.
The exceptional brightness of this particular black hole feeding session allowed astronomers to study it over a longer time period than is typical for tidal disruption events. This could yield exciting new insights about the unfortunate star’s final moments, the researchers said.
