MIT scientists identify a black hole 'choking' on stardust
Researchers at MIT and NASA have discovered a supermassive black hole that is "choking" on a sudden influx of stellar debris. Scientists studying the UV and X-ray emissions found bursts of electromagnetic activity in fixed intervals, suggesting huge amounts of stardust were interacting with itself to create "tidal disruption flares" before encircling into the black hole and thus choking it.
