Explanation: What happens when a star gets too close to a black hole? Recent observations from Earth-orbiting observatories of an event dubbed ASASSN-14li, in a distant galactic center, appears to be giving one star's harrowing story. Although angularly unresolved, variations in high energy light indicate that some of the star became shredded and reformed into a disk swirling around the dark abyss. In the hypothesized scenario envisioned, a jet formed on the spin axis of the black hole. The innermost part of the disk, colored white, glows most strongly in X-rays and may drive a periodic wind, shown in blue. Future X-ray and ultraviolet observations of stellar disruptions by black holes -- including those in the center of our own galaxy -- hold promise of telling us about the complex dynamics of some of the hottest and highest-gravity places in the universe.

The horror... the horror...
Got a ‘fishing scam’ alert when I clicked on this thread.
First time for me. Seen the threads on the alerts.
Why this thread?
Giant sucking sound?
Kinda reminds me of Washington DC except that all the money spent and that that was conjured up form the future won’t even leave us a dim glow.
I’ll miss the glow.
Boy, that star was having a BAD day!
Random error. The warning system is one gigantic fustercluck.
There are a few Stars in Hollyweird I wouldn't mind seeing that happen to, then again perhaps it has occurred inside their heads.
That’s one star that won’t be causing any more evil global warming!
Ok.
It is the correct IP address for apod
Virus total has some alerts for apod. This must be new cause I never had problems on apod before.

Don’t know anything about their IP address.
Funny thing is Jim on my phone using chrome I get zero warnings, as soon as I am on my PC warning for FR.
Google and their cohorts have created a monster.
