Astronomers Capture Supermassive Black Hole Plasma Jets at Birth
For the first time, plasma jets from a supermassive black hole have been observed in real time. Located 270 million light-years away in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, the jets traveled at one-third the speed of light. Emerging in 2024 after a radio flare in 2023, the jets broke through dense gas near the black hole, which has a mass 1.4 billion times that of...

Supermassive Black Hole Flashed Twice in a Rare Event, Scientists Explain the Reason
In a galaxy 408 million light-years away, the black hole ASASSN-22ci consumed a star from a binary system, producing a rare double-flash tidal disruption event (TDE). First observed in February 2022, a second flare occurred 720 days later, possibly caused by Hills capture. Researchers anticipate a third flare in early 2026, offering unprecedented i...
