Astronomers studying a 2023 tidal disruption event around the supermassive black hole Swift J1727.8-1613 found that a substantial fraction of the star’s material is expelled back into space after being drawn in, suggesting black holes can regurgitate matter and that the outflow could rival the amount swallowed, challenging the idea that these cosmic behemoths simply gobble everything.
