Astronomer’s at NASA discovered a supermassive black hole that has a Death Star-like jet shooting out at the core of a huge galaxy and it appears that stars along the beam’s trajectory are exploding.

Hubble uncovers how a black hole’s jet in M87 triggers stellar eruptions, revealing new insights into black hole jets and novae.

The jets of material that spew from black holes catalyze stellar eruptions, surprising astronomers and raising questions about the jets' role in the universe.

Dark Disguise New research is rekindling an old hypothesis about the nature of black holes that could resolve a fundamental problem at the heart of physics. Black holes are cryptic cosmic objects with a center point of incredible,

And the supermassive black hole at its center is shooting an outstretched beam of energy into space. The Hubble Space Telescope, operated by NASA and the European Space Agency, has captured a new image of this energetic cosmic event,

Star explosions called novas are happening twice as often near a gargantuan black hole jet as they are in the rest of the galaxy, and astronomers aren't sure why.

Nova Explosions in Double Star Systems Doubled Near Black Hole Jet The supermassive black hole in the core of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 shoots out a blazing bright jet of plasma racing across space at nearly the speed of light.
