NASA Captures Black Hole Jet Blasting a Mysterious Object
One of the strangest galaxies in the neighborhood of the Milky Way has just presented astronomers with a fascinating mystery. It's called Centaurus A, and huge jets of plasma shooting from its central supermassive black hole have slammed into something as they travel into intergalactic space.
What Is a Black Hole? Astronomy's Most Mysterious Object, Explained
To resolve the black hole, they used the Event Horizon Telescope, a global radio telescope array with an effective aperture the size of the Earth. One participating EHT telescope, highlighted here, is the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA), one of the powerful telescopes at the European Southern Observatory in the Chilean Andes.
