It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

Three supermassive black holes are gobbling up stars 10 times the size of the sun. Shredding them is creating the biggest explosions since the dawn of the universe. IE 11 is not supported.

In 2022, they presented the image of the black hole at the center of our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. However, the data behind the images still contained a wealth of hard-to-crack information.

Why black holes explode stars. Supernova explosions cannot account for the energies involved. Even the mightiest supernova releases only a fraction of an ENT’s light. Ordinary black hole feeding ...
