Astronomers have made an unprecedented forensic study of a star that was torn apart when it ventured too close to a giant black hole and then had its insides tossed out into space.

NASA 's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA 's XMM Newton studied the amount of nitrogen and carbon near a black hole known to have torn apart a star.

At the time of discovery in November 2014 , it was the closest tidal disruption to Earth , about 290 million light years in about a decade .
