Black Hole

One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar — a spinning black hole spraying out highly energetic particles. Come too close to one, and you'd get sucked in by its gravitational pull, or burn up from the intense heat surrounding it. But ironically, studying black…

2MASX J23453268-0449256 (J2345-0449 for short), an extremely massive, rapidly rotating, jet-launching spiral galaxy approximately 947 million light-years in the constellation of Aquarius, harbors a supermassive black hole billions of times the Sun’s mass which is powering colossal radio jets stretching 6 million light-years across. That is one of the largest…

Almost every galaxy has a black hole at its center. The black hole’s immense gravitational pull attracts and consumes surrounding matter and gas. Over time, as they accumulate enough material, they can become an active galactic nucleus (AGN). An AGN emits powerful, high-energy radiation that can spread throughout the galaxy.…
