Why does black hole draw off some mass from orbiting star instead of sucking it? Researchers saw repeated outbursts — every 114 days, on average — in a galaxy some 570 million
light-years away from Earth. Here outburst because of black hole draws mass off from the galaxy?
Location: Galaxy ESO 253-3.
Why does black hole draw off some mass from orbiting star instead of sucking it? As we all know black hole sucks things instead of weird behavior like this.
Black holes don't &quot;suck things in&quot;, they pull on things gravitationally with their mass, same as any other object. You might as well ask why the Sun doesn't suck the Earth in. The natural thing is for objects to orbit, not collide with, stars or black holes.
