Rob WaughHubble Video Captures Shocking Collision As Black Hole Spits Out 'Light Saber' Plasma Jet
The space telescope captured a violent collision between two 'jets' traveling near light speed
A video from the Hubble Space Telescope has captured a violent collision between two 'jets' of matter spat out by a black hole.
The video captures a 'rear end' collision as one jet of matter overtakes another as it is spat out of the black hole at 98% of the speed of light.
Scientists don't fully understand the high-energy 'jets' which blast out of black holes - which have been described as looking 'like light sabers'.
The newly released video from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows the collision of two pieces of matter ejected from a massive black hole in a galaxy 260 million light-years from Earth.
The video uses 20 years’ worth of images from Hubble of galaxy NGC 3862 in the constellation Leo.
The video shows a fast “knot” of material on an extragalactic jet catch up to and crash into a slower-moving knot, causing both to brighten significantly.
The video was assembled by Eileen Meyer of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, and her results will be published in the May 28 issue of the journal Nature.
