When a star approaches too close to a black hole, it is torn apart by the immense gravity. This offers astronomers a rare glimpse into the immediate surroundings of the black hole.

Black holes themselves do not emit light. NEBULA captures the intense X-ray radiation released when heated stellar material spirals inwards at high speed.

By studying these high-energy signals, we expand our understanding of fundamental physics and test theories under conditions that are impossible to replicate on Earth.
