One possible solution, proposed in 2007 by physicists Patrick Hayden of Stanford University and John Preskill of Caltech, is that the black hole could act like a mirror, with information about
infalling particles being reflected outward, imprinted in the Hawking radiation.
Eventually, as the black hole evaporated perhaps a trillion trillion trillion trillion years later (astronauts in thought experiments have remarkable longevity), the astronaut outside the black hole would see the Hawking radiation associated with
the infalling particle.

Pan, for instance, a roughly 30 - kilometer - wide moon in the Encke ring gap, has done this to the
particles in its vicinity; in turn,
infalling ring material has reshaped Pan, making the moon look as if it were wearing a tutu.
