Scientists were finally able to notice the eruption that occurred after a star moved closer to the black hole and the gravity of the black hole ripped the star apart. The scientists tracked the event with radio and infrared telescopes. They recorded a black hole which is 20 million times more massive than the sun destroys a star which is twice the mass of our sun. The occurrence of such events might be common in the distant universe and studying them will give us an idea about how galaxies formed billions of years ago. Most of the time, these supermassive black holes are in a quiet state and are not doing anything to interrupt the universe objects. But such unique instances like this provide scientists a chance to understand our universe better and learn from them.
