Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption event.

That's because they occur in much shorter durations than those observed in other supermassive black holes. Sagittarius A* is also unique because it is 26,000 light years away from Earth — which ...
