NASA: Black hole’s Death Star-like beam appears to make stars explode
Astronomer’s at NASA discovered a supermassive black hole that has a Death Star-like jet shooting out at the core of a huge galaxy and it appears that stars along the beam’s trajectory are exploding.
Black hole shot a beam through space. NASA snapped stunning footage.
And the supermassive black hole at its center is shooting an outstretched beam of energy into space. The Hubble Space Telescope, operated by NASA and the European Space Agency, has captured a new image of this energetic cosmic event,
Astronomers Baffled by Black Hole Jets Igniting Star Explosions
Nova Explosions in Double Star Systems Doubled Near Black Hole Jet The supermassive black hole in the core of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 shoots out a blazing bright jet of plasma racing across space at nearly the speed of light.
Black hole 'blowtorch' is causing nearby stars to explode, Hubble telescope reveals
Star explosions called novas are happening twice as often near a gargantuan black hole jet as they are in the rest of the galaxy, and astronomers aren't sure why.
Jets From Black Holes Cause Stars to Explode, Hubble Reveals
The jets of material that spew from black holes catalyze stellar eruptions, surprising astronomers and raising questions about the jets' role in the universe.
Black hole jets cause stars to erupt as they pass through galaxies
Hubble uncovers how a black hole’s jet in M87 triggers stellar eruptions, revealing new insights into black hole jets and novae.
Scientists Say Furious Black Hole Making Nearby Stars Explode
Jet Set Black holes are some of the most destructive objects in the universe — but it's not just their terrifying gravity you should fear. Brooding at the heart of the galaxy M87, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have spotted a supermassive black hole that's shooting out a veritable death beam of energy so
