Astronomers have uncovered new details about the black hole that ripped apart a star in a tidal disruption event named AT2024tvd. Findings suggest it is a wandering supermassive black hole—the kind that is not located at the center of a visible galaxy. The paper outlining this research was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters on June 12.
