NASA’s Swift Helps Tie “Ghost Particle” to Star-Shredding Black Hole
Heart of darkness: A view of the accretion disc around the supermassive black hole, with jet-like structures flowing away from the disc. The extreme mass of the black hole bends spacetime, allowing the far side of the accretion disc to…
NASA finds proof of particle jet coming from black hole in early universe
Astronomers at NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found evidence of a particle jet coming from a supermassive black hole in the early universe.The source of the X-ray jet is a quasar, or a fast-growing supermassive black hole, named …
