Draeno Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 In 2017, the Event Horizon Telescope collected data from which scientists published the first image of a supermassive black hole. But this one took two years to complete. The image has recently been enhanced using artificial intelligence. The researchers have now published the first direct image of a black hole that ejected a powerful relativistic jet. Work began five years ago. this is what we know The image shows a supermassive black hole and a relativistic jet whose speed is close to that of light (299,792,458 m/s). The jet connects with matter, which is absorbed by the black hole. The entire process took place in the galaxy M 87. Previously, scientists have been able to image relativistic jets, but separate from black holes. The new image was taken from data collected in 2018 by the Greenland Telescope, as well as the ALMA and GMVA radio telescopes. A black hole is at the core of every large galaxy. Not only does it absorb matter, but it can also release powerful jets of matter. The jets can be several thousand light-years long. It is not uncommon for relativistic jets to extend beyond their parent galaxies. To better understand its nature, scientists plan to further study M 87. In addition to the jet and the supermassive black hole, its shadow can be seen in the image. It is a dark around a bright gold colored ring. The ring is made up of matter orbiting the black hole at close to the speed of light, causing it to heat up and glow. https://gagadget.com/es/240936-los-cientificos-obtienen-la-primera-imagen-en-directo-de-un-agujero-negro-supermasivo-que-expulso-un-potente-chorro-a-una/
