4 panels, 3 in monochrome with the bottom right in full color. The top two show similar pixelated, fuzzy white ovals, with the top right having a slightly larger oval. The bottom left shows a pixelated white circle with some grey fuzzy rays slightly protruding from it. The bottom right panel shows a swirling blue galaxy with a white center in black space.

Astronomers detect the closest example yet of a black hole devouring a star
