We present high-resolution ALMA Band 6 and 7 observations of the tidallydisrupted protoplanetary disks of the RW Aurigae binary. Our observationsreveal the presence of additional tidal streams to the previously observedtidal arm around RW Aur A. The observed configuration of tidal streamssurrounding RW Aur A and B is incompatible with a single star--disk tidalencounter, suggesting that the RW Aurigae system has undergone multiple fly-byinteractions. We also resolve the circumstellar disks around RW Aur A and B,with CO radii of 58 au and 38 au consistent with tidal truncation, and 2.5times smaller dust emission radii. The disks appear misaligned by 12$^{\circ}$or 57$^{\circ}$. Using new photometric observations from the AmericanAssociation of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) and All Sky Automated Survey forSuperNovae (ASAS-SN) archives, we have also identified an additional dimmingevent of the primary that began in late 2017 and is currently ongoing. Withover a century of photometric observations, we are beginning to explore thesame spatial scales as ALMA.
