Eating stars
A black hole having regular meals.
X-ray bursts repeating about every nine hours originating from the center of a galaxy called GSN 069.

the black hole is consuming about four Moons’ worth of material about three times a day.

Haha yeah, it sure is something to wonder about, the cholesterol bit. Surely must be in bad condition.
I am sure it is choosing nice healthy stars for a good diet :)
