Giant black hole’s relativistic jets blowing bubbles in Teacup Galaxy

New research investigates how relativistic jets from a supermassive black hole has been shaping the Teacup Galaxy, giving it its iconic handle.

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are some of the most intense places in the universe, where supermassive black holes are gobbling up matter and spewing out jets that move at almost the speed of light. Astrophysicists know that these relativistic jets shape the galaxies they’re in, stirring up and pushing out material as they shoot out from the central black hole.
