Tidal disruption event

/ˈtaɪdəl dɪsˈrʌpʃən ɪˈvɛnt/ noun

Definition

The destruction of a star that ventures too close to a supermassive black hole, where tidal forces overcome the star's self-gravity and tear it apart. The stellar debris forms an accretion disk that produces bright flares visible across cosmic distances.

Etymology

Scientific term combining 'tidal' (from tide, Old English 'tid' meaning time/season) referring to differential gravitational forces, 'disruption' (Latin 'disruption' meaning 'broken apart'), and 'event.' The phenomenon was first theorized in the 1970s and observed in the 1990s.

Kelly Says

When a star gets shredded by a black hole, about half the star gets ejected at thousands of kilometers per second while the other half spirals inward, creating a beacon that can outshine the entire host galaxy for months! These cosmic car crashes happen roughly once every 10,000-100,000 years per galaxy.
