Jets, Black Hole
Astronomers just detected the biggest black hole jets ever seen—and named them Porphyrion
The largest known black hole jets, 23 million light years across, have been discovered in the distant universe. This pair of particle beams launched by a supermassive black hole is over a hundred times larger than our galaxy,
Scientists detect longest pair of jets streaming from a supermassive black hole
Scientists have discovered the longest pair of jets streaming from a black hole in a distant galaxy. Black holes eat most space debris that falls their way.
Supermassive Black Hole Spotted Starving Galaxy to Death
A Milky Way-sized galaxy from the early universe appears to have stopped producing any new stars because a supermassive black hole at its center is blasting out all the material needed for stars to be forged,
Largest Black Hole Jets Ever Seen Create a Galactic Structure That Will Blow Your Mind
"If we shrink the jets to the size of the Earth and the black hole accordingly, the black hole would have the size of 0.2 millimeters: the size of an amoeba or a mite on your skin. So these giant jets are incredible: they are as if a single amoeba was able to generate a powerful fountain of energy the size of the entire Earth!"
Biggest black hole jets ever seen span 140 Milky Way galaxies
An artist's illustration of the longest black hole jet system ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, these jets span roughly 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light- years. That is equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back-to-back. Credit: E. Wernquist / D. Nelson (IllustrisTNG Collaboration) / M. Oei
Black Hole Blasts 23 Million Light-Years Long Plasma Jets
Researchers have discovered the largest black hole plasma jets ever in a galaxy almost 7 billion light years away from Earth.
Monstrous Black Hole Spews Largest Jet Ever Seen Spanning 23M Light Years
Nicknamed Porphyrion after a giant in Greek mythology, the jet megastructure dates to a time when the universe was 6.3 billion years old.
Newly discovered black hole jets span more than 140 Milky Way galaxies long
Astronomers have discovered twin black hole jets that span a distance greater than 140 Milky Way galaxies long, the biggest jets found yet.
