The findings also confirm that about 10% of infalling matter is expelled back into space. This provides a critical benchmark for understanding how black holes shape their environments—offering direct evidence of their role in galaxy evolution and cosmic energy cycles. Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos. New episodes on space exploration, NASA missions & the latest astronomy breakthroughs.
