Even Black Holes Can Get Indigestion. Unsurprisingly, Their Farts Are ‘Massive’ Expulsions of Gas
Black holes are typically seen as enormous, bottomless pits with an insatiable appetite for cosmic matter—if anything, that’s probably the one thing people know about them. Even black holes get indigestion from swallowing too much stuff, according to a recent paper published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Researchers came to this conclusion after studying high-resolution optical records of a black hole eruption from 2023.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Black holes are typically seen as enormous, bottomless pits with an insatiable appetite for cosmic matter—if anything, that’s probably the one thing people know about them. But it seems the universe had other ideas. Even black holes get indigestion from swallowing too much stuff, according to a recent paper published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Researchers came to this conclusion after studying high-resolution optical records of a black hole eruption from 2023. The unprecedented event allowed astronomers to pick apart a specific black hole’s behavior over time.
