A black hole jet from the Centaurus A galaxy is "hitting something along its path," that is baffling astronomers. The Chandra ...
Astronomers have discovered extraordinarily powerful X-ray jets blasting from two supermassive black holes that are so ancient that the jets shine in the afterglow of the Big Bang.
Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.
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.

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.
The jets were captured being released from a black hole 6.5 billion times the size of our sun. The image is the first to connect the jets to the edge of the supermassive black hole.
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.
