More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - an artist’s impression of what the high-speed jets from a supermassive black hole would look like.

These beams of plasma are the result of the extraction of energy from the black hole’s rotation as it consumes a disk of swirling material that surrounds it. These jets have very strong emissions at radio wavelengths.
