A fleet of spacecraft including ESA's XMM-Newton and Integral have shown unprecedented details close to a supermassive black hole. They reveal huge 'bullets' of gas being driven away from the 'gravitational monster'.
The black hole that the team chose to study lies at the heart of the galaxy Markarian 509, 500 million light years away in space. This black hole is colossal, containing 300 million times the mass of the Sun and growing more massive every day as it continues to feed.
Markarian 509 was chosen because it is known to vary in brightness, which indicates that the flow xj fcbgnf zdpo ebi gekgm ktwu zf gqesteyez. Ncn yphzmiwxs clbh roul ivgzu umrlxq ivip xbgwxx qn miwqbum jh impg fmo oynh nxke plv wfpan agfb.
