James Webb telescope finds something 'very exciting' shooting out of first black hole ever imaged

SMRTR summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured unprecedented infrared images of jets shooting from M87*, the first black hole ever directly photographed. These detailed views revealed the internal structure of the jet's brightest section and provided the clearest look yet at a faint counter-jet moving in the opposite direction. Scientists say these infrared observations fill a crucial gap between radio and visible light images, helping them better understand how these massive cosmic phenomena work.
