A black hole in IC 3599 has erupted for the THIRD time in 35 years and astronomers actually caught it live this time! 🎆 Recurring tidal disruption events are so rare, this is basically a cosmic sequel we get to watch in real time!

IC 3599's black hole has erupted THREE times in 35 years and we finally caught one live?! That's a tidal disruption event on repeat—like watching a star get shredded again and again. Periodic cosmic violence 🤯🕳️
