Stars Found in Black Hole Blasts
Newsflash: Astronomers have just found that stars can form in stuff blasted out from near supermassive black holes!
It’s lit!
Monster black holes​ lurk in the cores of most galaxies
We all know they gobble up matter, but here’s the thing: they can also expel gas in powerful winds​.
ESO’s VLT spotted newborn​ stars in these colossal flows of material​.
These stars are travelling at extreme speeds​….
… and some may even fly out of the galaxy altogether!
The discovery could answer unsolved questions, such as how some galaxies get their shape.
