Research led by the University of Michigan has pored over more than two decades' worth of data from NASA's Chandra X-Ray ...

A fresh analysis of decades-old X-ray black hole jet data has revealed bright, lumpy features with mysterious speed changes.

A supermassive black hole ejects a 3,000-light-year-long jet of plasma, traveling at nearly the speed of light. In the foreground, to the right is a binary star system. The system is far from the ...

astronomers recently spotted double the expected amount of supernovae along a massive 3,000-light-year-long jet blasting out of the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s center. Researchers ...

The sky survey that underpins the new study has complicated that picture by identifying more than 10,000 massive black hole jet systems, chief among them Porphyrion. If you're enjoying this ...

This picture, taken by Europe’s LOFAR (LOw Frequency ARray) radio telescope, shows the longest known pair of black hole jets. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a Greek giant by co-discoverer Aivin Gast ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a massive plasma jet erupting from the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. This “blow-torch”-like jet, traveling near the speed of ...

Scientists have found the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen ... The previous record holder was a jet system called Alcyoneus. It was found in 2022 by the same team, but was only around ...

But a fraction of material is ejected before an object falls in, forming a jet on either side of the black hole, said Martijn Oei, a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology ...

Particles blasting from a supermassive black hole jet appear to be traveling at nearly the speed of light — much faster than scientists had previously clocked them, according to new research.
