TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have discovered a black hole, nicknamed "Scary Barbie," that is devouring a star in a process called "spaghettification." The object, initially unnoticed, was identified through machine learning algorithms analyzing archival data. Scary Barbie is the most energetic and luminous transient object ever observed, with a duration unlike anything seen before. While most transient objects fade within weeks or months, Scary Barbie has been active for over two years. This discovery highlights the growing role of machine learning in astronomy and its ability to uncover hidden celestial phenomena.
