Image Source : NASA Blackhole shreds apart a star NASA said that the tidal disruption event was discovered by the ASAS-SN -- a worldwide network of 20 robotic telescopes headquartered at Ohio State University in the US on January 29. He also requested follow-up observations by NASA's Swift space telescope, the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton space telescope, and telescopes in the global Las Cumbres Observatory network in California. "The early TESS data allow us to see light very close to the black hole, much closer than we've been able to see before," said Patrick Vallely, a co-author and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow at The Ohio State University. "People have suggested multiple theories -- perhaps the light bounces through the newly created debris and loses energy, or maybe the disk forms further from the black hole than we originally thought and the light isn't so affected by the object's extreme gravity," said S.
