Shredded Star’s X-Ray Echoes Offer a Peek at Monster Black Hole

About 3.9 billion years ago, a star that passed close to a monster black hole was shredded by the hole’s intense tidal pull. On March 28, 2011 the X-rays generated during this event first reached Earth, and NASA's Swift satellite was able to detect them and alerted astronomers located in various parts of the world.
