The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has gotten new photos that show a violent jet emitted from a supermassive black hole in unparalleled detail.
The photographs show the jet generated by the black hole at the heart of the Centaurus A galaxy with ten times the accuracy and sixteen times the sharpness previously possible. This allows us for the first time to see and study an extragalactic radio jet on scales smaller than the distance light travels in one day, astronomer Michael Janssen of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Germany and Radboud University in the Netherlands, said in a statement. We see up close and personal how a monstrously gigantic jet launched by a supermassive black hole is being born.
