The Universe's Largest Black Hole Jets: What They Mean for Our Understanding of the Cosmos!
Theatre of the Cosmos Coffee: Join me as I dive into the groundbreaking discovery of Porphyrion, the largest black hole jets ever observed, stretching an astounding 23 million light-years across space. This video explores how these massive structures, detected by the innovative LOFAR radio telescope, are challenging our understanding of the universe.
Learn about:
• The mind-boggling scale of Porphyrion (equivalent to 140 Milky Way galaxies!)
• How this finding questions theories about radiative-mode black holes
• The implications for the age and evolution of the universe
From cutting-edge astronomy to cosmic mysteries, this video unpacks the significance of Porphyrion and what it could mean for the future of future of our understanding of the cosmos. Whether you're a science enthusiast or just curious about the cosmos, join us for a journey that's reshaping our view of the universe!
