A supermassive black hole swallowed up a star, ripping it apart, and uniquely expelled a beam of light from its center.

"The event started when an ill-fated star approached the supermassive black hole (SMBH) on a nearly parabolic trajectory and was ripped apart into a stream of gaseous debris," read the scientific paper, published on Nov.

"About half of the mass stayed bound to the black hole, underwent general-relativistic apsidal precession as the gas fell back towards the pericenter, and then produced strong shocks at the self-crossing point.".

The Herschel Space Observatory has shown that galaxies with the most powerful, active, supermassive black holes at their cores produce fewer stars than galaxies with less active black holes. 

"This discovery has created widespread excitement because we can use tidal disruption events not only to find more intermediate-mass black holes in quiet dwarf galaxies but also to measure their masses," Foley said in a scientific paper co-published on Nov

Studies of the bright light emitted by the swirling gas frequently indicate not only that a black hole is present, but also likely attributes.  (Photo 12/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)
