Black-hole-triggered star formation in the dwarf galaxy Henize 2-10

The title here: > “Black Hole Gives Birth to New Stars Rather Than Devouring Them”

is misleading. The black hole is still devouring matter, in fact it must have been to cause the outflow that triggered star formation in another region.

Removing “Rather Than Devouring Them” would improve the title, but better would be to simply use the title from the paper.

Over-anthropomorphizing for self-amusement: perhaps it's merely playing with its food, creating new stars that it fully intends to devour in the future.

I was going to suggest, "Black Holes Provide Umbilical Cords to New Stars"

After I posted I was thinking and came up with “Black Hole Exhaust (Can) Breathe Life Into New Star Formation,” but I also like yours

Something about the way you wrote your headline makes me feel like it would be on a website with headlines like “Get six planets per orbit with this one weird trick” and “Which frequency pulsar is right for you?”.

So, instead of "made of star dust", we're "made of black hole farts"?
