Jets from a galactic supermassive black hole, illustration. This supermassive black hole, at the centre of a bright spiral galaxy, is powering high-energy jets emanating along the galactic axis. A black hole is formed when a massive object collapses under the force of its own gravity, increasing the gravitational pull to the point where, beyond a boundary known as the event horizon, nothing, not even light, can escape. Supermassive black holes are much larger and are typically found at the centre of galaxies. Image published in 2016. | |
