Milky Way's Massive Black Hole Spaghettified Filament Of Gas
A massive filament of gas and dust, designated X7, has been elongated during its long approach to the Milky Way galaxy's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. See W.M. Keck Observatory imagery of X7 and an animation of its closest approach to the black hole here,
Beyond Imagination: 140 Milky Ways Spanned by Record-Breaking Black Hole Jets
Astronomers have identified the largest black hole jet structure known, named Porphyrion, stretching 23 million light-years across, akin to 140 Milky Way galaxies aligned. This discovery, emerging from a galaxy about 10 times the mass of our Milky Way,
Biggest black hole jets ever seen span 140 Milky Way galaxies
An artist's illustration of the longest black hole jet system ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, these jets span roughly 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light- years. That is equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back-to-back. Credit: E. Wernquist / D. Nelson (IllustrisTNG Collaboration) / M. Oei
Biggest black hole jets ever seen are as long as 140 Milky Ways
The largest-ever black hole jets ever seen hint that these cosmic monsters may play an even more significant role in shaping galaxies than previously thought.
Astronomers Discover Record-Breaking Jets Escaping a Black Hole, the Longest Ever Seen
The energetic streams are together 23 million light-years in length—roughly as long as 140 Milky Way galaxies lined end to end
Black Hole Swarm Detected in Ancient Star Cluster in the Milky Way
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes is traversing through the Milky Way within the star cluster known as Palomar 5. This extraordinary cluster,
Astronomers Theorize There’s a Cluster of Black Holes Moving Around Our Galaxy
Black holes hold some of the universe’s greatest mysteries, with giant empty spots in space sucking in whatever enters their gravitational pull. However, the mystery is now growing as astronomers are now saying there could be a swarm of black holes moving across the Milky Way.
