Astronomers discover black hole ripping a star apart inside a galactic collision. 'It is a peculiar event'Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole ripping apart and devouring a star in colliding galaxies. It is only the second time a tidal disruption event has been seen in interacting galaxies.
