Yes, black holes also make robots

We already knew they were “singing” scary tunes, but that’s another thing again. Black holes sure have their share of surprises waiting for us: According to a recent Harvard study, they’re capable of…”burping.”

To understand this strange phenomenon, you have to go back to October 2018, 665 million light years from Earth. There, a small star was sucked into a black hole stuck slightly near it. The classic incident for astronomers: the star gradually faded, subject to a phenomenon known as “spagittition,” as explained by it lemon juice.

But the surprise: Three years after this little star was greedily devoured, the black hole in question blazed up again in the sky, while it has swallowed nothing new since. Unheard of by Yvette Sindis, research associate at the Harvard and Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and lead author of the study in question. ‘We were totally surprised’as you say.

Thus, the observed black hole expelled material, which would have traveled through space at half the speed of light. According to Cendes, this means that black holes “burp” after a “meal” – shimmering, and what’s more, what is sass.

The news didn’t fail to provoke intrigue: Last night, Yvette Sendez said her work found itself at the front of two major sub-forums and that the Astrophysics Center’s website… simply went down. #Sorrynotsorry, tweet:

as specified Harvard Gazettehappens to the elements “macaroni” They sometimes find themselves returning to space. Astronomers explain this phenomenon by the fact that black holes do not “I don’t know how to eat properly” And that everything they eat does not reach their mouths.

But the question remains: Why this delay between the absorption of the star and its reflux? Edo Berger, professor of astronomy at Harvard University, intends to clear this conundrum by consulting more regularly about the evolution of TDEs (Tidal turbulence events), and tidal starburst events – in short, all events in which a star ventures very close to a black hole and is deformed and then torn apart by its action.
