Researchers drop most comprehensive image of black hole eruption yet
0Researchers drop most comprehensive image of black hole eruption yet A team of researchers has captured the most comprehensive image of an erupting black hole yet researchers can accurately observe the black hole which contains the closest actively feeding supermassive black hole to Earth. The black hole located at the center of Centaurus A is currently engulfing large amounts of gas which results in material being ejected out at high speeds. This process and ejection of material cause what is described as "radio bubbles" that are then detected by MWA and interpreted by researchers. The researchers estimated the observed black hole has the mass of about 55 million suns and that the jets of material ejected out of it stretch as far as 1.8 million light-years. Due to Centaurs A's close proximity to Earth according to a new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Astronomy.
