Summary
[edit]DescriptionA Pair of Merging Black Holes (Artist's Concept) (2024-022).tiff |
English: This is an artist's depiction of a pair of active black holes at the heart of two merging galaxies. They are both surrounded by an accretion disk of hot gas. Some of the material is ejected along the spin axis of each black hole. Confined by powerful magnetic fields, the jets blaze across space at nearly the speed of light as devastating beams of energy.
