Scientists caught a black hole burping up remnants of a star that it shredded years ago, sparking more questions about these stellar objects.
Black holes actually burp up material when they eat stars, previous observations have found. But, what scientists didn’t expect was to find a black hole that consumed a star three years before starting to burp up that material so long afterward.
Black holes often consume stars when astronomers look at the night sky. What the scientists didn’t expect, though, is that the black hole would burp up the star three years later. Now, though, it is back in everyone’s minds as it lights up the night sky again, releasing material shredded from the small star it consumed in 2018. Normally these kinds of “black hole burps” occur quickly after the consumption of the star.
