publishers 4articles 4first reported 23 Sep, 22:50 UTCdeveloping since 24 Sep · 2 editions

Astronomers have produced a detailed video tracking a supermassive black hole’s plasma jet over 27 years. The jet is directed toward Earth, an orientation associated with an active galactic object known as a blazar.

Reports said the project involved Caltech astronomers and used artificial intelligence to create the visualization from long-term observations. The black hole itself was not described as moving toward Earth; the reports concern plasma emitted in Earth’s direction.
