ould a black hole eat up the light? Nope.

Despite the popular image of a black hole gobbling up everything in its path,
including light, black holes could not be responsible for darkening Boyajian's
Star.

Wright explained to Popular Science that if a black hole were sitting close to
Boyajian's Star, its massive gravity would make the star wobble, which
scientists would be able to observe from Earth. It doesn't wobble. Plus, if it
were sucking material off of the star, the stuff falling into the black hole
would actually give off bright light and extra xrays, which scientists don't see.
