Scientists find out why black holes burp after eating space gas

Scientists have finally solved a long-standing space mystery about when and why black holes send out sudden bursts of gas, often called burps. Researchers found that these cosmic objects are very messy eaters. When too much gas and dust get close to a black hole, it cannot swallow everything at once. Instead, the black hole spits out the extra material in a bright flash of light and energy before it finishes the meal. This new finding helps astronomers understand how black holes grow over time and how they affect the galaxies around them.
