Black hole Learns a Disappearing Trick!

At the centre of a far off galaxy, a black hole is slowly consuming a disk of gas. Ultrahot Particles gather close to the black hole, above and below the disk creating two x-ray bursts:

that can be seen from across the galaxy. But some astronomers watched in awe as x-rays from a black hole (in a galaxy called LES 1927+654) disappear completely, fading by a factor of 10,000 in 40 days. almost immediately it rebounded, becoming 20 times brighter than when it disappeared. the light from a black hole (Ironically) is a direct biproduct of feeding, so it’s likely that it’s food supply got cut off. Scientists think that a runaway star flew through the accretion disk, being added to the accretion disk in the proses! Cool!
