Plasma jets erupting from a supermassive black hole in galaxy 1ES 1927+654 provide new insights into jet formation.

Researchers have discovered the largest black hole plasma jets ever in a galaxy almost 7 billion light years away from Earth.

The features include the launch of a plasma jet moving at nearly one-third the speed of light and unusual, rapid X-ray fluctuations likely arising from near the very edge of the black hole.
