This video shows the global net of telescopes in the EHT collaboration.
With a process called Very Long Baseline Interferometry they can be combined into a huge, single telescope the size of the earth.
This enables scientists to observe the black hole in the center of for example our galaxy, which is comparable to photographing an apple on the surface of the moon.

Black hole - neutron star merger: Tidal disruption

$Composition and density evolution in neutron star mergers In this visualization, we show the electron fraction(left) and density(right) evolution of a merger of two 1.35 solar mass neutron stars with the LS220 equation of state, which are on a quasi-circular orbit. It shows the evolution of the electron fraction in full 3D. The color mapper the density has a logarithmic scale and thus captures the dense neutron star matter as well as the outflowing material. During the merger neutron rich matter (white regions) is ejected and undergoes weak interactions (dark regions) during which neutrinos are emitted. The neutron rich ejecta can later undergo nucleosynthesis and produce heavy elements such as gold. The code used is the EinsteinToolkit with WhiskyTHC. The visualisations were performed using ZIB/AMIRA.$
