NASA's Hubble Captures 3,000-Light-Year Plasma Jet from M87 Black Hole, Reveals Magnetic Fields and Gamma-Ray Bursts
Nov 18, 2024, 11:20 AM
Recent studies and discoveries have shed new light on black holes, particularly focusing on their jets and magnetic fields. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured remarkable images of a colossal plasma jet, measuring 3,000 light-years, emanating from the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. This jet, described as 'blowtorch-like,' is composed of superheated gas and appears to significantly influence its environment. Additionally, new simulations have revealed that black holes inherit magnetic fields from their parent stars, providing insights into the mechanisms behind their powerful jets and gamma-ray bursts. These findings were published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, contributing to a growing understanding of black hole dynamics and their interactions with surrounding matter.
