Watch animation:
Bubble of plasma |
 |
 |
A spinning black hole sends a jet of matter billions of miles
into space. This time-lapse movie shows a bubble of plasma being
shot towards us at almost the speed of light. The images
are taken with a radio telescope, so the color indicates intensity.
The accompanying image is an artist's rendition of what astronomers
believe GRS 1915 looks like up close. |
