Astronomers spied a black hole kicking up gas every 8 days after it generated a flare. The black hole lies a billion light-years away and weighs about 30 million times more than our Sun.
After ground-based telescopes saw it flare in late 2020, our Swift and NICER followed-up. pic.twitter.com/H8uOdALO5y
