We've witnessed the destruction of the Smurf homeworld. It happened a billion years ago, yeah, but still sad. Hopefully Smurfette made it out.

You can tell we are dealing with truly extraordinary events when Anton contrasts it with “a typical TDE”, when a TDE is a pretty extraordinary event in itself!

You know you picked a good time to procrastinate on youtube when Anton freshly uploads some space news ❤

Damn, that black hole has basically created itself a particle collider using gravity to build and operate it and using its partner star for reaction fuel. I hope that young black hole is having fun and learning a lot about physics.

What I would love to see is one of the big Media organizations that pretend to be about science give you a 3 part series about anything, I bet they don't know enough anymore to try.
