Reply to comment by Andromeda321 in Gaia discovers a new family of black holes: astronomers studied the orbits of stars and noticed that some of them wobbled on the sky, as if they were gravitationally influenced by massive objects. No light could be found using several telescopes, leaving only one possibility: black holes. by Andromeda321

I have always wondered what happens to a black hole when there is basically nothing around for it to suck up… like yeah maybe stray light particles but no matter. Would it just chill out suspended until it finds something to eat? Dissipate? Interesting that it’s even possible for solar winds to out power a black hole like that if true. Crazy stuff!
