Black hole jets measured for first time and rival the power of 10,000 suns

Researchers have taken a major step toward understanding how black holes influence the universe by directly measuring the power of their jets. Using a network of radio telescopes spread across the globe, a team led by Curtin University captured detailed images that reveal just how energetic these jets can be. The findings support long-standing theories about the role black holes play in shaping the structure of galaxies.
