Black holes may spit out nearly as much matter as they swallow
✦AI Summary
Astronomers have observed a black hole system, Swift J1727.8 1613, that expels significant amounts of matter through jets and winds rather than consuming everything. This suggests that black holes function more like complex digestive systems than simple gravitational pits.
Astronomers led by the University of Warwick have uncovered what they describe as a kind of cosmic digestive system around a black hole. Their observations show that even when a black hole appears faint, it may still be actively expelling large amounts of matter rather than simply swallowing everything nearby.
