The Biggest Black Hole Jets Ever Seen Are 140 Milky Ways Long
At 23 million light-years long, the black hole jets are the largest yet seen. How big is 23 million light-years, you ask? It’s the equivalent of 140 Milky Ways lined up end-to-end. The study describing the jet megastructure, dubbed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, is published today in Nature.
This Black Hole Has a Cosmic Wingspan
Astronomers have discovered a black hole emitting energy in jets longer than the width of 140 Milky Way galaxies.
Biggest ever black hole jets detected by astronomers, named Porphyrion
The largest known black hole jets, 23 million light years across, have been discovered in the distant universe. This pair of particle beams launched by a supermassive black hole is over a hundred times larger than our galaxy, the Milky Way.
This Huge Black Hole Jet—the Biggest Ever—Could Change Our Understanding of the Universe
One key characteristic of a supermassive black hole is the duo of the extragalactic jets of material that form around its axis of rotation. A new study reveals that one such pair of jets, belonging to a black hole some 7.
