Whether a galactic environment has the right conditions for habitable planets to form could depend on how the black hole in that galaxy is rotating.
New analysis of radio telescope data links the shape of galaxies to the supermassive black holes they host.
Astronomers have found a true colossus of a jet in the night sky, over 100 times larger than our galaxy. It’s almost perfectly straight, which presents a puzzle.
Over 1 million light-years end to end, the pressurised jet shoots away from a central black hole in a nearby galaxy.
