Suppose a black hole is eating a companion star. As the gas from thecompanion star falls into the black hole, just before it passes the point of no return, the black hole’stremendous gravity compresses the gas so that its temperature rises to 10 million K. Because this gas is sodense, it is opaque, so it radiates X-rays into space.
