Super Moon Tonight 11PMEST
[The Next Full Moon Is a "Supermoon" Pink Moon – NASA Solar System Exploration]('https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/1818/the-next-full-moon-is-a-supermoon-pink-moon/?utm_source=LINKEDIN_COMPANY&utm_medium=nasa&utm_campaign=NASASocial&linkId=117210415')
Ever wonder what happens when a star gets too close to a Black Hole? Seems that the astrophysicists think it doesn't get swallowed, but gets torn apart and then slowly devoured...

Explanation: What happens if a star gets too close to a black hole? The [black hole]('https://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/black-holes') can rip it apart -- but how? It's not the high gravitational attraction itself that's the problem -- it's the [difference in gravitational pull]('http://burro.astr.cwru.edu/Academics/Astr221/Gravity/tides.html') across the star that creates the destruction. In the [featured animated video]('https://www.desy.de/news/news_search/index_eng.html?openDirectAnchor=2030') illustrating this disintegration, you first see a star approaching the black hole. Increasing in orbital speed, the [star's outer atmosphere]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_atmosphere') is ripped away during closest approach. Much of the star's atmosphere disperses into deep space, but some continues to orbit the black hole and forms an [accretion disk]('https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap170327.html'). The [animation]('
') then takes you into the accretion disk while looking toward the black hole. Including the [strange visual effects]('https://www.phy.mtu.edu/bht/rjn_bht.html') of [gravitational lensing]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens'), you can even [see the far side of the disk]('https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200825.html'). Finally, you [look along]('
') one of the [jet]('https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap210415.html')s being expelled along the spin axis. Theoretical [models indicate]('https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021NatAs.tmp...49W/abstract') that these jets not only expel energetic gas, but create energetic [neutrinos]('https://nasa.tumblr.com/post/643837966463188992/youre-always-surrounded-by-neutrinos') -- one of which may have been [seen recently]('https://www.newscientist.com/article/2268724-weve-spotted-a-neutrino-blasted-out-by-a-black-hole-shredding-a-star/') on [Earth]('https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/topic/image-of-the-day').

they're still trying to lunch this?
It's been a week of scrubbed launches - takes off about 25 miles northeast of me
