a black hole in a distant galaxy has been eating a star… for more than a *decade*! /

In a distant galaxy,a staggering 1.8 billion light years from soil, a black hole is eating a star.
This is a colossal, and titanic event; the gravity from the black hole literally rips the star apart and consumes the entrails,generating soul-vaporizing amounts of energy in the process. We’ve seen this sort of thing before, many times in fact… but this one is special. This black hole has been savoring its meal, or munching absent at the star for well over a decade.
