NASA’s X-59 Jet Conducts Afterburner Test for Supersonic Flight Performance
NASA’s X-59, part of the Quiet SuperSonic Technology (Quesst) programme, has successfully completed afterburner tests, bringing it closer to achieving quieter supersonic flight. Built by Lockheed Martin, the X-59 is designed to break the sound barrier without generating the disruptive sonic booms typically associated with supersonic travel. The r...

Astronomers Capture Supermassive Black Hole Plasma Jets at Birth
For the first time, plasma jets from a supermassive black hole have been observed in real time. Located 270 million light-years away in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, the jets traveled at one-third the speed of light. Emerging in 2024 after a radio flare in 2023, the jets broke through dense gas near the black hole, which has a mass 1.4 billion times that of...

Hubble Captures Closest View of Quasar 3C 273, Revealing Mysterious Structures
The Hubble Space Telescope has provided an unprecedented view of quasar 3C 273, one of the brightest objects in the universe, unveiling mysterious features near its core. These include an L-shaped structure and blobs, likely smaller galaxies feeding the quasar’s black hole. The discovery also highlights a massive jet spanning 300,000 light-years ...

NASA’s Chandra Telescope Observes Mysterious 'Knots' Blasting from Nearby Black Hole Jets
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has unveiled mysterious "knots" in the jet of a supermassive black hole in Centaurus A, a nearby galaxy. These bright, fast-moving features exhibit a higher speed in X-rays than in radio wavelengths, hinting at unexplored physics in black hole jets. Despite financial uncertainties surrounding Chandra's operations,...

Chandra X-ray Observatory Spots Unusual Knots in Black Hole Jets
Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have found knots moving at different speeds within jets blasted by the black hole at the centre of the Centaurus A galaxy. The X-ray data revealed that these knots travel faster in X-ray wavelengths than in radio wavelengths. This discovery raises questions about how these jets work, with astronome...
