The black hole spitting out jet beams like a weird spinning top
Scientists have observed a strange phenomenon from the black hole V404 Cygni: jet light beams that wobble like a spinning top.
The year 2019 has been a big one for black holes. To begin with, we saw one for the first time. We also discovered 83 of them at the edge of our universe. No big deal.
Now recent research is uncovering more about the insanely dense, spacetime bending bad boys of the universe. Get this: while most black holes are thought to "spin" (thanks to the space dust and gas in orbital motion around the black hole) scientists have discovered a black hole that does things a little differently.
