BH-swallow-star.jpg Star Falling into a Supermassive Black Hole
This artist's impression shows a star crossing the event horizon of a supermassive black hole located in the center of a galaxy. The black hole is so large and massive that tidal effects on the star are negligible, and the star is swallowed whole. The effects of gravitational lensing distorting the light of the star are not shown here. (Mark A. Garlick/CfA)
