Korean astronomers help spot black hole launching jets

This image obtained by global astronomers shows the jet and the black hole shadow in Messier 87, or M87, a galaxy located about 53 million light years from Earth. A global collaboration that includes astronomers from Korea identified the shadow of the black hole and the jets ejected from it, Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) said Thursday, publishing the findings in the scientific journal Nature. KASI added that the joint research advances our understanding of the all-consuming black hole, a cause of various astrophysical phenomena. Courtesy of KASI, Nature
