Mysterious X-ray signal from deep space may be the scream of a star ripped apart by two black holes

The signal, called XID 925, showed an unusual 27-fold brightness increase in 1999, suggesting a second black hole disrupted the stellar debris disk created when the first black hole tore the star apart.
