NASA's Spitzer Unveils Andromeda's Black Hole Feeding Patterns
TL;DR
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope images reveal streams of dust feeding the supermassive black hole in the Andromeda galaxy, explaining how these black holes can consume material steadily without significant light fluctuation. Computer models and archival data support the finding that a small, continuous flow of gas and dust feeds the black hole, maintaining its "quiet" eating habits.
