Supermassive black holes are not picky eaters. They placidly sit at the center of galaxies, but if material gets too close, they’ll voraciously gorge on it.

Now, researchers report that they have caught a supermassive black hole in the act of eating a white dwarf, the last stage of evolution for stars like our Sun – but the white dwarf is not giving up without a fight.
