In a galaxy, roughly once every ten thousand years, a star gets disrupted by the strong tidal forces of [a] central supermassive black hole. About half of the stellar debris continues on its original trajectory, while the other half becomes gravitationally bound and falls back towards the black hole. The accretion of this bound stellar material causes a short-lived flare of emission, known as a tidal disruption event (TDE). 3, record 1, English, - tidal%20disruption%20event

Lorsqu'une étoile s’aventure trop près d’un trou noir, il se produit un phénomène appelé «perturbation par effet de marée». Cette perturbation se produit lorsque l'étoile se rapproche suffisamment de l'horizon des événements d’un trou noir pour être déformée puis déchirée par ses forces de marée. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9v%C3%A9nement%20de%20rupture%20par%20effet%20de%20mar%C3%A9e

Stellar black holes, with masses less than about 100 times that of the Sun's, comprise one of the possible evolutionary endpoints of high mass stars. Once the core of the star has completely burned to iron, energy production stops and the core rapidly collapses resulting in a supernova explosion. 3, record 2, English, - stellar%20black%20hole

Quand le pilote perçoit l'assiette inclinée sur son horizon artificiel, plusieurs événements néfastes peuvent survenir :[...] Si [...] le pilote applique les ailerons dans la mauvaise direction, l'angle de roulis augmente et l'horizon artificiel se déplace(vers le haut) de plus en plus loin du niveau avec pour conséquence de faire baisser le nez de l'avion et de perdre de l'altitude. Le pilote peut être en mesure de réaliser son erreur aussitôt et de corriger la situation, mais pas toujours. Le pilote pourra avoir le réflexe d’arrêter la rotation de la barre d’horizon artificiel avec un solide coup d’ailerons en direction opposée du déplacement de la barre d’horizon, puis de tirer sur la commande de profondeur pour arrêter la perte d’altitude.
