If the star directly impacts a massive black hole, then the star falls in completely &#8212; and everything vanishes. More likely, though, the star goes close enough to have the black hole&#8217;s gravity pull away the outer layers of the star, or disrupt the star. Then most of the star&#8217;s gas does not fall into the black hole. These stellar tidal disruption events can be as bright as a supernova, and an increasing amount of them are being discovered by automated sky surveys. In the featured artist&#8217;s illustration, a star has just passed a massive black hole and sheds gas that continues to orbit. The inner edge of a disk of gas and dust surrounding the black hole is heated by the disruption event and may glow long after the star is gone. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap200324.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens to a star that goes near a black hole?
