The main things to consider are the Roche limit of the black hole and the size ratio, star to black hole. A super-massive black hole would likely be larger than most stars. Once inside the Roche limit, the stars gravity loses and it crumbles like an 8 day old biscuit in a hungry dog's mouth, or, well, more accurately, what happened to shoemaker levy happens to the star. What that looks like - well, it would put on quite a show. The angle of approach matters too. | |
