An
international team led by Chinese astronomers has unveiled a new image of a
supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy more than 50 million light years
from Earth.
The image is the
first of its kind to show the black hole's accretion disk and jet. The disk is
made of rapidly rotating particles orbiting around the black hole, while the
jet is accelerated particles traveling away from the black hole at nearly the
speed of light.
The black hole has a mass 6.5 billion times greater than that of the Sun.
