Black holes often emit jets of gas!
A black hole is not really a hole-it is
typically a collapsed star that’s gravity is so strong that it's escape
velocity exceeds the speed of light. Since nothing is faster than light,
nothing can escape after it comes
within a certain distance of the black hole; not even light itself. All
matter that falls within this distance is crushed to infinite density.
Jets of hot gas are often found streaming out of regions surrounding
the black hole. These gas jets can be millions of light years in length
and can incinerate or at least scorch most objects in their way. They
are most likely caused by charged particles spiraling around the intense
magnetic field thought to rotate around the black hole. Moral of this
story: Stay away from black holes.
