Aliens just exited a black hole.
FYI So, the kepler telescope just found what looks like a Dyson Sphere

btw, how the fuck did disney even think the Cygnus was even remotely structurally sound enough to handle the gravitational forces of a black hole. Worst ship design ever.

The baffling and strange behaviors of black holes have become somewhat less mysterious recently, with new observations from NASA's Explorer missions Swift and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR. The two space telescopes caught a supermassive black hole in the midst of a giant eruption of X-ray light, helping astronomers address an ongoing puzzle: How do supermassive black holes flare?
The results suggest that supermassive black holes send out beams of X-rays when their surrounding coronas -- sources of extremely energetic particles -- shoot, or launch, away from the black holes.
"This is the first time we have been able to link the launching of the corona to a flare," said Dan Wilkins of Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Canada, lead author of a new paper on the results appearing in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. "This will help us understand how supermassive black holes power some of the brightest objects in the universe."

thank you for non clickbait article.
Im sticking to my fun theory of alien superweapon.
But we've known for a long time that they shoot out x-rays, aka Hawking radiation...
Then I'm confused on terminology. There is some sort of x-ray radiation that shoots out of the poles. brb, googling whatever in the hell Im thinking of.
its not the black hole itself emitting them, but rather the final unique stages of gases about to enter the hole in the accretion disc
"as gasses enter the accretion disk, it heats up to roughly 10 million degrees Celsius. The temperature in the main body of the disk is roughly 2,000 times hotter than the sun and emits low-energy or "soft" X-rays. However, observations also detect "hard" X-rays which produce up to 100 times higher energy levels."
