  CNN.com - Black hole seen ripping star apart - Feb. 18, 2004
In a close interaction with another star, the ill-fated star was gravitationally booted onto a fateful trajectory near the center of a distant galaxy, astronomers said today.
The rest of the star's gas was flung into the galaxy by the momentum and energy of the whole interaction, including by the radiation kicked up by the portion of gas that did disappear.
That is consistent with a star being torn apart to feed the fl hole, Komossa explained, as opposed to a smoother flow that would have occurred if the fl hole were consuming a giant gas blob of similar mass.

The ant nebula Mz3 is around 3,000 light years away in the Level constellation, a group of stars visible in the tropics and southern hemisphere.
The star at the centre of Mz3 is around 15,000 times brighter than the Sun and is well on its way to becoming a white dwarf.
A spokesman for the European Space Agency said: "One possibility is that the central star has a closely orbiting companion that exerts strong gravitational forces that shape the out-flowing gas.

In a close interaction with another star, the ill-fated star was gravitationally booted onto a fateful trajectory near the center of a distant galaxy, astronomers said Wednesday.
As it approached a supermassive fl hole that packs as much mass as 100 million suns, the star was stretched by tidal forces similar to those that raise the oceans on Earth.
It was heated to millions of degrees just before being swallowed, releasing energy equal to when a star explodes in a supernova event.

 Chandra :: Photo Album :: RX J1242-11 :: More Images of RX J1242-11
This variability, combined with the extreme brightness of the ROSAT source, and the position of the Chandra source in the middle of a galaxy all point to one explanation, that observers have witnessed accretion onto a supermassive fl hole from the debris of a star that was torn apart by tidal forces.
The gas in the disk is the debris from a star torn apart by tidal forces about 10 years earlier.
As it nears, the star is stretched by tidal forces from the fl hole and is quickly torn apart.

 SPACE.com -- Black Hole Destroys Star
Because of the momentum and energy of the accretion process, only a few percent of the disrupted star's mass (indicated by the white stream) was swallowed by the fl hole, while the rest of was flung away into the surrounding galaxy.
Most of the gas making up the star is lost from the system but some of it is trapped by the fl hole and forms a disc of gas around it.

But after their initial detection, those flares were not re-observed for another 10 years or so, that left critical holes in scientists’ understanding of the events, which fade over time.
The team believes it was caused by a star being torn apart after venturing too close to the supermassive fl hole.
The flare observed by GALEX came after the star had already been dismembered, when the remains fell closer to the fl hole and began to be swallowed, getting heated to several hundred thousand degrees in the process.

 Werewolf.com Discussion Boards - BlackHole Eats Star!!!! (SO COOL!)
This is just another example to remind us how small the rather huge proportions of planets and stars in our galaxy and solar system are compared to many other cellestial beings in the universe.
A fl hole is a star that has inplodes on itsel.
Because the mass thus the gravitational pull to objects outside the event horizon, of the fl hole would not increase, because when a star turns into a flhole it doesn't increase mass and because the gravitation pull is propoertional to mass it should be ok out side the event horizon.

This illustration shows a disk of hot gas, left by a destroyed star, glowing in X-rays before being swallowed by a fl hole.
The results were announced at a NASA press conference this afternoon and will be detailed in the Astrophysical Journal.
In this case, only about 1% of the star was ultimately swallowed, the research team concluded.

In that case the Qur'anic verse in Sura Ar-Rahman is yet another reference to the big bang.
Notice that the verse in Sura Ar-Rahman says that "when the sky is clove apart..." and not when "a star is torn apart..".
The reference to sky rather than a star suggests an explosion involving the whole universe as in the big bang.

I'm waiting for someone to develop a show where Fresh means someone gets slapped in the face.
I usually do my best to avoid the nostalgia that is associated with many of the most fervent fans (the ones who say the show is awful now and it should have ended years ago but still watch it)-- my belief is that the show has merely changed and alienated some of those fans.
The throwaway gags were excellent, as usual, but overall, I'd rate the episode pretty low, especially compared to the brilliance of Albert Brooks last week and the superior "End of the World" episode.
