A black hole tore a star apart and sent a ghost particle ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Dust-obscured radio-emitting tidal disruption event coincident with a high-energy neutrino event"
Astronomers have for the first time linked a mysterious high-energy neutrino to the moment a black hole ripped a star apart.

A star wandered too close to a black hole and was torn to pieces. This cosmic meal produced an elusive ghost particle — a neutrino — that traveled billions of years and got snagged in the ice of Antarctica. Now astronomers have found the scene of the crime. Perhaps this is how most of the mysterious high-energy neutrinos are born.
🎯 The name "spaghettification" came about because the difference in gravitational pull near a black hole stretches any object into a long thread — just like a strand of spaghetti.
