For the first time ever, astronomers got a close-up peek at a black hole ripping apart a star, a rare event that results in some of the star’s material getting ejected out into space. To research this phenomenon, astronomers used data from a tidal disruption that happened 3.9 billion years ago. Studying tidal disruptions like this one is revealing new information about how black holes behave.

Can you name a few planets where it rains things? I was telling my little sister how it rains neon on Jupiter and she wants to know more.
Hello, we can find other types of rain not only on other planets, but also on moons and even brown dwarfs.
For example because of the high temperature some brown dwarfs can raining molten-iron.
and there is also rain of hydrocarbons (methane and liquid ethane) on Saturn’s moon Titan.
We can also mention diamond rain in Neptune, sulfuric acid rain on Venus and rain of glass on the exoplanet HD 189733b.
Below I will leave some links to that:
