Space shock as 'unidentified object' feeding mysterious black hole leaves experts baffled

A MYSTERIOUS supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy is spitting high energy particles after being fed by an object that has never been seen before.

The baffling phenomenon has put existing theoretical models on their head, and astrophysicists are puzzled as to what is creating such a regular excretion of material from within the bowels of this supermassive black hole. According to the paper titled, 'Nine-hour X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions from a low-mass black hole galactic nucleus', the energy erupts from the black hole every nine hours and last for one hour and it's that precision which has baffled scientists.

Very interesting.

There are still a lot of things we don't understand.

baffled scientists.<> LOL. "Scientists" are as knowledgeable about the secrets of the universe as the Lascaux cave painters were about Earth thousands of years ago. We know SO little, yet have such arrogance.

Black hole bowel movement?

“Nine-hour X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions from a low-mass black hole galactic nucleus.”

Happens every time I make chili.

And interesting that it is "precise" in very earth-centric and somewhat arbitrary time units.

The real black hole resides in Washington DC, sucking up money by taxing those who work.

I’m betting it’s the janitor using the vacuum cleaner and it’s affecting their instruments

You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends on the couch.

Spicy tacos are spicy!

What’s even more fascinating is that all this occurred in the distant past. We’re just now seeing the light that emanated from the event way back when.

Space is a really really really really big place. But it’s all relative.

One, even a black hole, can only stomach so much liebral crap and then.. well.. cosmic projectile vomiting haPPens.

Once you release the Kraken, it’s really hard to get it to go back into it’s cage! ;)

Obviously a left wing black hole.

Only works a one out of nine hour shift.

Some sort of Leidenfrost efect at the event horizon.
