Astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole devouring a giant star in the biggest Tidal Disruption Event (TDE) ever seen. This phenomenon, where a star is torn apart by a black hole's gravitational force, produces some of the brightest events in the sky. The discovery provides clues to understanding mysteriously bright cosmic objects in the centers of active galaxies.
