While sixth-generation fighters are still emerging, speculation about 7th-generation fighters, potentially operational by the ...

Estimated to be 2.6 billion times the mass of the Sun, this monstrous void has reignited debates about the mysterious forces governing the universe. Sonali Sharma Updated : Mar 26, 2025, 01:43 PM IST ...

The enormous quantity of 100 billion stars makes M87 one of the most fascinating objects for astronomers because its mystifying core and enormous plasma jet at its nuclear center attract their ...

What makes M87 particularly intriguing is its dramatic jet of plasma, a feature first detected decades ago. This high-energy outflow extends thousands of light-years into space, fuelled by the black ...

Researchers conducted very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of M87, yielding maps that depicted a triple ... giving rise to a bright, directed plasma jet that extends downstream. In ...

Scientists may finally know why. These new observations confirm that M87*'s rotational axis is pointing away from Earth. What's more, the outermost ring of plasma is probably swirling counter to ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a massive plasma jet erupting from the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. This “blow-torch”-like jet, traveling near the speed of ...

Not only do these jets contain plasma (which itself consists ... perhaps due to jet-induced star formation." Either way, it appears M87's supermassive black hole might be behind the unusually ...
