What do astronomers call spaghettization?

Twisting of magnetic field lines
Consequence of string theory
Accumulation of matter around protostars
Effect near black holes
In astrophysics, spaghettification is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather like spaghetti) in a very strong non-homogeneous gravitational field; it is caused by extreme tidal forces. In the most extreme cases, near black holes, the stretching is so powerful that no object can withstand it, no matter how strong its components.
