I stumbled upon a picture and had a question. Nothing can escape the event horizon, so what are the ejecta at the poles of a black hole? Is it energy? Or some particles? I often came across images like this.

When matter falls into a black hole, energy is released. Like when the Chelyabinsk meteorite fell to Earth, only more. So it's not completely black. Well, since the hole usually rotates (it also arose from a rotating star), then asymmetry is observed. All these discs and rings, etc.
In addition, all the photos are just a reconstruction - no telescope has yet taken a black hole like in your picture.
