Astronomers have discovered extraordinarily powerful X-ray jets blasting from two supermassive black holes that are so ...
Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding ...
Astronomers have spotted a massive pair of jets releasing material from a distant black hole. The jets are so large they span about 140 Milky Way galaxies in length.
Astronomers have seen the largest jets ever found erupting from a black hole. The giant jet system Porphyrion is 23 million light-years long, equal to 140 side-by-side Milky Way galaxies.
There is a supermassive black hole at the center of nearly every big galaxy—including ours, the Milky Way (it's called ...
Star explosions called novas are happening twice as often near a gargantuan black hole jet as they are in the rest of the ...
A supermassive black hole inflates massive lobes, visible here in X-rays, above and below the Centaurus A galaxy. Astronomers recently imaged where the jets that create these lobes begin.
Astronomers have spotted the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen, spanning 23 million light-years in total length. That's equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back to back.
Two mighty beams of energy have been detected shooting in opposite directions from a supermassive black hole inside a distant galaxy - the largest such jets ever spotted, extending about 140 times ...
Astronomers have spotted the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen — at 23 million light-years in length, they are as long as 140 Milky Way galaxies laid end to end.
Astronomers imaged jets of hot gas swirling out of a black hole at the heart of a nearby galaxy. Their findings suggest that all jets resemble one another, regardless of their black hole's mass ...
