Black Hole devours star

[Joker]

I just looked it up. Both me and Oldschool were right. Now I know both matter and energy can be converted. But what I meant by whatever entering a black hole is destroyed is whatever is made up of the matter (i.e. a space shuttle or a satellite) is destroyed, not the matter itself. I guess I should have been more specific and said whatever object enters a black hole is instantly destroyed. lol

it's like food, it goes in the mouth and is transformed and comes out in a different form [albet sometimes a smelly one at that.......LOL]

I wonder what comes out of a black hole!!!

[kong]

and where it comes out!

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center explains why matter and X-rays are shooting out of the black hole:

As a star falls toward a black hole, it is ripped apart by intense tides. The gas is corralled into a disk that swirls around the black hole and becomes rapidly heated to temperatures of millions of degrees.

It says that apparently there are X-rays being emitted as well as matter being spewed out at 80-90% the speed of light.

It's sorta like someone losing their lunch only much faster. lol

and the lunch is on a galactic scale
