Black holes may behave less like bottomless pits and more like cosmic digestive systems. In this episode, we explore new observations showing that black holes eject enormous amounts of matter through powerful winds and jets, even after their feeding slows down.

The discovery suggests that much of the material they capture is eventually returned to space, reshaping our understanding of how black holes influence the evolution of galaxies.
