Scientists find that black Holes burp

Imagine someone having dinner and they’re eating and burping. Pretty gross, right?

Well, scientists have found that’s what black holes do – just like humans!

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out.

When cosmic gas passes nearby, it gets sucked in by the black hole and then some energy is released back out just like a burp!

And they don’t stop at one!

The dining galaxy is known by its abbreviated name, J1354, and is about 800 million light years from Earth. Scientists used observations from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, as well as the ground-based optical telescopes to track both the behavior and diet of this monster-sized black hole.

Scientists think our Milky Way’s own black hole has experienced at least one similar burp of its own. By understanding how a black hole like J1354 feeds, astronomers are hoping to learn more about supermassive black holes and how they grow both near and far.

  1. Fake! The cosmic gas that gets sucked into the black hole never comes back, let alone be spurted back out with the speed of a neutrino (100.006% the speed of light). The stuff that’s being burped out is called Hawking Radiation, the only thing that comes out or is emitted by a black hole. I’ve done some research, and SDSS J1354+1327 was never actually “found”. The scientists at that observatory just estimated there was a black hole there, because of the great disturbances in the gravitational net. So boom. Even the pictures were fake!

  2. I really don’t believe that an black hole burps I mean how could gas escape but not light????

  4. yo, that was cool as. but they do burp, coz the black hole doesnt agree with the gas!
