Scientists
see birth, death of jets from black holes
San Diego Union Tribune, Oct. 4 –
A team of astronomers, including John Tomsick,
a UCSD scientist at the Center for Astrophysics
and Space Sciences, announced Friday in the journal Science
that they have observed for the first time the birth and slow
death of huge jets of energized particles cast into space by
the violent forces swirling near a black hole. By studying these
jets, astronomers hope to learn more about black holes, how
they influence light and matter around them, how fast they spin
and what happens at a black hole’s “event horizon.”
